♦ nivek ♦ Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 America, land of fear?Truthout by John Cory "When did America change from 'the land of the free' to the land of fear? When did we become a nation afraid of tubes of toothpaste and shampoo and water bottles? Who taught us to fear brown people in all their shades? What is it that makes us fear and despise oral sex more than torture? How is it that a nation founded on revolution and free speech now cowers in 'free speech zones' and trembles at every utterance of its citizens?"

Japedo Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 The greatness of America was never its armies or corporate empires - it was its citizens, the everyday John Doe on the street. It was and should always be "we the people." Hear hear!! What a masterpiece of an article I loved it, It should be required reading.
