AATOTW: Revisited


I can't seem to think of anything good to write about this week. In order to continue the weekly posts, I decided to post an entry from my previous blog page. This is the first Arpeggio Andy's Thought of the Week (AATOTW) from that page.


When asked about cameras being utilized by Homeland Security I thought:

I miss The Cold War.

Life was so much better when our only real enemies were in the USSR. The Russians stayed in their country and we stayed in ours. We had an agreement, if they didn't nuke us, then we wouldn't nuke them. And besides, the Cold War spawned some really cool military aircraft.

Now we have enemies that live IN America and have access to everything that Americans have access to, like airlines, ryder trucks, chemicals that can be made explosive, tall buildings, you get the picture. Since the Islamics and the ‘Islamic influenced Muslims’ are difficult to distinguish from the 'regular Muslims’. And because we can't just force all of them out of the country because that would be an international crime against the 'regular Muslims’. And because the Islamics and the ‘Islamic influenced Muslims’ never stop wanting death to all Americans through some screwed up religious beliefs. We have no choice but to step up national security to a higher level than what many, including me, are comfortable with.

I think the only thing we can do is wave to all the cameras.
