Who was it this morning, Kerik I think was gleefully saying that the events of the last two weeks have gotten us to a point where the public will ACCEPT random searches whereas two weeks ago there would have been a huge outcry and protest.
I hear people are going to be wearing t-shirts that say "I DO NOT CONSENT." I usually hate things like this, but I don't like getting mugged by the authorities in the airport, and the idea that they're going to be doing this on the street (and escalating as time goes on) is horrfying, horrfying.
OTOH, I'm the one that's been calling for a dictator, and New York, I think you got one. You need to get rid of that joker Bloomberg. He's bad news. If you gotta have a dictator, you at least need one that points the gun in the right direction. Perhaps they never do.
This is four years since 2001, don't you have a chance to get rid of him this fall?
It's obvious that this nitwit has never taken a statistics or probability course in his life.Perhaps not. The Mayor and his family are statistically unlikely to be in serious danger, regardless of the likely harm to an indeterminate number of still-nameless people in his city. Safety in numbers allows him to indulge in ridiculous PC exercises.
