September 11, a day that will live in infamy. It should be remembered for the Rights we sacrificed for a needless war. The first act of congress was to pass the Patriot Act which severely changed the landscape of our civil rights. A Right once lost can be recovered only through drastic actions.
Our Rights continue to be eroded through the vehicle of continuing wars around the world, for Gods sake we still have military bases in Europe left over from WWII. And an ongoing warm war on the Korean peninsula. Our unconditional support of Israel assures a constant strife in the Middle East. All intended to maintain the citizenry in a state of fear. Yet we all recognize a peaceful world would be the choice of any reasonable person.
FDR was right in 1941 and he's right today. "We have nothing to fear but fear itself". Yet here we are.
Questioning authority is proof that we're all on this flight together.
