Your problem is that you are a fascist who cannot see subtle distinctions. A teacher whose student has secreted a butter knife is not an evil person, but your final solution to our terrorist problem - if WE actually have a terrorist problem - is to throw her, throw all of them, in the slammer. Well let me tell you. Whatever side of a problem you are on, I am going to join the other side because your solution is pure unadulterated evil. That is the result of all extremists like yourself who cannot see subtle distinctions between right and wrong. Like all fascists, you cloak yourself in a blanket of morality to perpetrate the gravest injustices known to mankind.
Of course, you are too dumb even to know it, which is the other reason that fasists are so evil. They all think they are twice as smart as they really are.
Frankly, from everything I see OUR terrorist problem is blown way out of proportion. We are dealing effectively with the problem by containing the problem in the Middle East. I see nothing that requires that we trample on the civil rights of Americans, particular nothing of a magnitude to turn our society over to evil little fear mongers like yourself.
Wow. Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?
Drink some coffee, eat some fiber, re-read my posts, and try again.
I don't like zero-tolerance policies-- I think they're stupid. They accomplish two things: they remove the discretion from the front-line people, and they teach people who are trying to circumvent the system that, as soon as they get around the primary security hurdle, the front-line people will be exercising no ingenuity apart from the script they're using, and will likely fail to catch them as a result.
I also don't like it when people blindly say: The system sucks! It won't work! Bush is at fault! The TSA sucks! It should be dismantled! ...without positing a possible solution to the problem.
I also don't like it when people jump on a bandwagon and blindly mis-attribute the problem to another cause. In this case the administration or the beauracracy as opposed to a Liberal P.C. mindset that forces us into these retarded zero-policy programs.
I also dislike hypocrisy. I found it deliciously ironic that a school principal found herself the victim of a zero-tolerance policy when, all across America, it's exactly this type of mindless policy that school administrators are ramming down our kids' throats.
In short, sir, either your definition of facism is wrong, or you didn't take the time to actually discern my position based on the multiple examples of it in this and other threads I've contributed to over the past few years. Either way, your ignorance puts you much farther down the facist road than I.
Have a great day!
