...in this town, the synagogues don't open now unless there are security guards inside and out. How's that for freedom of worship? We've let the enemy here and they're taking our rights faster than anything....

Fitz, the enemy are not taking our rights. We're surrendering them. It's exactly the same story here in Sydney with synagogues, Jewish schools, airline security; a story of mass hysteria, and a response completely out of all proportion to the 'threat', if there is a threat. We've had no terrorist incidents at all, yet Sydney airport is full of bored guards standing around in their black paramilitary uniforms. Yes, you guys had a morning of horrific terror in two cities three months ago. Those who carried it out are all dead. There have been no subsequent attacks. Yet some Americans are carrying on like the local Qwiky Mart could be targeted at any moment by Al-Qaeda. Who wins from all this madness? 1. the media, and 2. the government.

More money, and more power...............

""The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed -- and thus clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." "-- H.L. Mencken

Seemed appropriate.
