“We have met the enemy, and he is us.”  Pogo

I am getting ready to take a trip and I will have to fly. It is to far to drive. And the thing that has forcibly stuck home, is that while our troops are fighting terrorism half away around the world, we have a whole new class of terrorist. They are called “Homeland Security”. Our government has become the thing we are supposed to be fighting against.

Don’t wear baggy clothes (cargo pants are comfortable and I’m going to be sitting in a fucking tiny little seat for god knows how long) , can’t have a pocket knife  (I’ve carried one since I was old enough to walk and I haven’t stabbed anyone, except myself, yet), My jewelery contains an honest to G-d bullet (what am I going to do with it, throw it at someone?) don’t do this, don’t do that, don’t don’t don’t….

And these incompetent idiots,  who can’t even catch a man with a bomb in his underwear,  are the ones charged with “keeping us safe”.  Only what they mostly do, from my observation, is throw their weight around and bully anyone they think they can.  70+ year old women in wheelchairs and small toddlers seem to be favorite targets.

Pogo was right.
