On this day...

2. on this day, 2001, amerika continues its slide into fascism, hatred and endless war.
this country officially ceased to exist on 12/12/2000, today's anniversary was simply another step on the long, downward slide.

3. Fuck the "Patriot Act"
What a horrible name for such a garbage piece of legislation. A real patriot would want to uphold the values of this country and the Constitution. Not walk all over to push an agenda.

5. I was always told that terrorists won if fear began to dictate your actions.
That particular piece of wisdom rung as true for me. Not sure if any further comment is needed :(
