Fear and Loathing in Washington

Can you believe it? Bushes cronies are afraid of Cat Stevens? The man who has preached peace and love his whole life. The man who is a respected member of the academic world, who supports numerious charities and still preaches peace might be a terrorist.

He scares them alright, but I bet it is not about his support of "questionable" charities that they fear. More like they are afraid of what he might stir up in the in the flower children and the current younger generation. As a voice for peace, he threatens everything the Bush bunch stands for. Loss of all that military industrial money from war supplies.? And the Saudi connection with their ties to the 9/11 killers. and the French, Russian and Americian arms dealers who supplied Iraq for years in spite of the brutality of that government (if you can call it a govenrment).

The Patriot Act. What a name. What an insult, actually. There is nothing patriotic about it. It is a means for the government to undermine the fundamentals of freedom in an effort to placate the fears of the weak at heart cowards among the Americian people. Come on Americia. Stand up and face the music. There is a price to pay for freedom. While the attacks on us in New York are horrors none of us will forget soon, they pale in comparison to Pearl Harbor, Hitler and many, many other insults to freedom our nation has endured over the years for it's freedom.

From the same musical era; Paranoria strikes deep, into your heart it will creap...

Come on America, get a grip. Stand up and be strong and true to the rights of people. All people not just to the ones the govenrment thinks we should. We are supposed to believe people are innocent untill proven guilty. We are supposed to believe in freedom of speech. For all people. Including Cat Stevens or what ever the hell he calls himself these days.
