Perpetual war in the Middle East. Born again Christian insane drug addict US President. Nazi advisors. Anybody worried?
It appears nobody else is, Miss Tulsa. As soon as I put up this ballot loads more political ballots arrived in front of them to push this one off the list. I think there are some people on this site trying to affect the type of ballots that get the most attention.
Liberal crybaby! :o)
I know Mae from European chat room she is not a liberal her friend who is Arab was arrested and questioned for 33 days on the terrorism issue I think she is worried on Homeland Security issue now
Miss Tulsa/Mae
Just a joke lili. Observe my smily face. Should have made it wink ;o)
That is a sad situation. It seems the only way the mass of the population got any rights is to band together and make it happen. Nowadays people are isolated in their homes and fed propaganda through the tv. We can't leave our welfare to people who say on tv they are looking after it. Hope your Arab friend manages to get it back together.
Sorry, I was not familiar with your symbols :0) O American one I do not take everything literal my jokes I guess are not funny in English
Not a problem lili :oP
Legislative Acts can be repealed. The Patriot Acts are no exception.
How does terrorism compare with other risks? Our reactions to the possibility of terrorism are out of proportion to the facts.Upward of 320,000 Americans died in homicides or suicides during the period 1996-2002. That amounts to about 45,000 people per year, and the chance that an American might die this way is roughly one in 6,500. American deaths from terrorism during that period amounted to only 1,538, including over 1,400 Americans who died in the 9-11 attacks. In this period, inclusive of 9-11, the chance of an American dying by terrorist hands was roughly one in 1.3 million.There is genuine concern in many parts of our society about losses of life through accidents and murder or suicide, but there is no great political furor about any of it. Nor do we seem prepared to deal effectively-assuming that we could-- with the mayhem annually perpetrated by use of firearms.Why is it therefore that our leadership has been driven to a state of near paranoia by terrorism? Who are the targets of fear marketing? We Americans are the targets. Politicians argue that not telling us about threats is a bad policy. The net effect of current terrorism information policy, notably the national alert system, keeps us apprehensive, and gives the terrorists one of their best tools: fear.
