Classic line, Dock! and so true.
Friend of mine forwarded an old Salon.com story talking about the "Bush/Cheney administration's plans for detention camps." A veteran we know said it was just anti-Republican propaganda. He was in the nuclear submarine service and supposedly had a high security clearance. I'd like to think he was right, but after Waco -- 51 days of siege, psychological torture and a final invasion using CS gas so flammable in indoor concentrations that it is banned for use against the enemy in WAR -- I'd believe almost anything about the feds.
Talk about camps was prominent in the early '90s. Before 9/11, it was hard to convince people to leave what looks like a secure place "for their own safety." As we saw in New Orleans, convincing isn't what they have in mind. They will tackle old, frail ladies and throw them in the trucks. They will prod the reluctant with muzzles, and I wonder what would happen if bayonets were issued.
A teacher here is being prosecuted for assault for pushing three students against a wall for not following his instructions during a fire drill. People are on the edge, man. Anywhere, you can find them in snapping range. Cops and military included.
There's no reason for them to come into my neighborhood. None.
