Anybody read Thomas Frank's What's the Matter with Kansas? I'm about halfway through it now and I find it very interesting. Druid you're from Kansas right lol.
 No, but it really is a thought-provoking read, something I think everyone should try and muscle their way through.*I know this isn't about the War on Terror but it deals with politics so I thought it would be relevant. This post has been edited by Blakjak: 06/27/05 4:55pm --------------------  |

i dont know....a lot of people are scared of arab americans...perticular the ones that look like the terrorists on cnn....
people are afraid of that they dont understand...and people have not forgotten 9-11. alot of people the wounds are as fresh as they were when it happened. if we get hit like we did on 9-11 i think you will see dramatic flow of hate crimes. as it is now i see towel heads (refering to the wrap on the head, not being really racist) being put through more "security" then they need to be. (harassment at border checks and privite security like factory and plant security (swat  wanna-be) officers.but when you think of terrorists who do you picture? McVeigh or Osama? Really you cant trust anyone, white black purle...it dont matter anyone could be a terrorist. look at the school bombing in russia (last year?) one of them was a woman. (she killed kids, and some of them didnt fit the profile for a terrorist that russia hard to worry about. |
