Fear.
Today I realized how scared shitless we are.
The U.K. foiled a terror plot consisting of at least 21 people with some liquid in seperate containers that - when mixed - would have blown up the airplanes they were on.
It was foiled, and not a single one of these played out.
Not one airplane was blown out of the sky, not one person injured.
Not fucking one.
Yet, all around, people have been given to a heart-stopping fear of these crazy asses.
I for one am not fucking falling for it.
Today I actually heard from the mouths of two people I love and respect that they would gladly give up a little freedom in exchange for security. It went more like this:
"You mean you wouldn't give up your personal rights if it meant I wouldn't die on that plane?"
You weren't on or even near a plane.
"Well I could've been!"
You weren't.
"They could take all my rights if it meant they'd stop these [people] from doing this!"
They didn't do it.
"They could've! What says they aren't trying again?!"
There are insane people who try insane things everyday on this planet. These people were not in Princeton, and they were not even in our States. There is, however, a few strung out junkies on Union Street just dying for a fix, as well as a couple Rebel flag waving racists in pick-up trucks driving around your very town who make it known they would gladly harm a black person if they had the opportunity. They even have guns. Lots of 'em. Big ones.
You don't seem too worried about them...
"They aren't trying to blow up planes!"
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Heritage not hate, right? I get it.... good ol' country boys.
Fuckers.
Look. 9/11 happened. It did. I know that. I watched it live - as it happened - and I cried and reeled and rallied behind our country and our President. I did.
We gave up alot of our freedoms then. A lot. We gave them up so that we could be protected - secure - so we could sleep in our nice comfy sheets and not worry about those darkies with pilot licenses anymore. We let them take some of our most precious rights. All because of fear.
We don't seem to be getting those back,
and it's 5 years later.
We are piss-pants-petrified. This whole damn country. We lock ourselves up tight - believe me, I'm the world's worst - and we give ourselves over to our government to protect us and keep us safe and keep the bad guys away, when the majority of said bad guys are in our own House of Representatives. They are already in our White House and our Senate. They are our Governers and our Mayors. Our police - oh, God. Don't even get me started on the f'n police.
We've given up our rights and are willing to do so EVEN MORE for the word of these criminals that we will be safe.
When the news reported women in the U.K. having to TASTE THEIR OWN BREAST MILK to prove it was really breast milk, this person said, "well good! They could hide it in anything!"
Not knowing what "it" was...
Mothers drinking their own breast milk? This is a sick fucking world if this is considered a safety measure. A sick fucking world. This, I feel, doesn't even need me explaining. If you would like one, e-mail me and let me know who you are so I can stay the FUCK away from you when it all does go down.
Stop living in fear. STOP LIVING IN FEAR. Stop buying into it and letting these people in your own government take away what you are born into. Your inaliable rights.
If we don't, we'll soon have to drink our own piss just to go to the mall.
