But on average, people in America have forgotten. They've become used to hearing about terrorist threats and they go about their daily lives. That's really not a bad thing, at least in part. We've got to keep "doing our thing" and drive the world's economy.
What troubles me is that the American people don't see the bigger danger that is told every day in the news: The American government is going to sieze unprecendented power FROM THE PEOPLE because of 9-11. In a way (Lord, I can't believe I'm typing this), one could be tempted to believe the accusations of Rep. Cynthia McKinney! Who and what stands to gain the most from terrorist activity?
Not the terrorists. They just get dead or hunted down and jailed. Who then? Who profits when the masses of people cry out in fear for protection? When the American people say "yes, search me and my house; search all my private documents and records. Just keep me safe!"
Who gains?
There need be no intrusions into the lives of most Americans. And there won't be. But our enemies should dread the day that Americans become unified.
Yeah...we keep doing our thing alright...sending manufacturing jobs to Mexico and buying stuff made in China from WalMart, getting further into debt, and becoming severely less educated then a generation before. We're in the drivers seat BABY!
