Land of the free

This is a must read email from a friend of mine in New York City. Scary shit.

"And yesterday at 6:00 a.m. my whole building was awakened by agents
from the 'Homeland Security' dept.

They were looking for someone specific, but they pounded on every door,
shouting at people to show proof that we are U.S. citizens, threatening
to arrest one neighbor cause he couldn't find his green card fast
enough...all very disturbing...

home of the free and the brave...feels more like nazi germany
everyday.

we're fucked.

I called the local
police to see if it was legitimate. And they sent a patrol car over, but
basically...Homeland Security rules."

Protect my DNA

Pay attention folks. It can't be far behind for us. Let's hope California does it right.
As the law goes right now, if you're arrested here, they take your fingerprints before you're
proven guilty, and you can write them a letter to ask them to remove it from the databank if you're not convicted -- and you'll get no proof that it's done, I'm certain it isn't.

But they can't yet take your DNA. YET. Not if it's not pertinent to the case. There are those in the great halls of deception and manipulation of Government who would want to bring this vision to fruition.


Take heed where the battle has already begun (thanks boingboing): California Proposition 69

Deep Thoughts

"If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might if they screamed all the time, for no good reason." - Jack Handey
