Let me hear some thoughts.

"Imagine you fell asleep ..oh, let's say, only five years ago.
Imagine you awoke this week in January, 2004.
Keep in mind, as you read on, you have no idea of all that
has changed while you slept those five years.

Keep in mind too that the questions I'm going to ask you are only the short list
and the ones, which may affect you most immediately upon your awakening.

How would you feel about the changes you'd see and hear?
Who would you choose to believe about what has happened while you slept?
With whom would you want to associate now?
Who would you feel you could trust? "

I especially liked this part

"There is now a Fear in the people in our country
of being seen with anyone the government has target as a "possible" terrorist.
of being seen reading books the government "suspects" means you are a threat to them.
of being heard disagreeing with the government's new laws.
of being deported though you were born and reared in America. "

Not Bush that's for sure...

anyway, that..well, article is rather interesting at how it is worded (I guess it could just be me) but it is really true especially this:

"There is now a Fear in the people in our country
of being seen with anyone the government has target as a "possible" terrorist.
of being seen reading books the government "suspects" means you are a threat to them.
of being heard disagreeing with the government's new laws.
of being deported though you were born and reared in America. "

I agree, its a prediction on what could happen leading us to a more Orweilian state of being.

I would feel overwhelmed in the beginning, later getting into the groove of being under stricter laws. I would try to get every view about what has happened, what the news and Government Officials say, and also what other Non-Governmental people say as well with their own research. I would still want to associate with the regular people. I think I could trust myself and those close to me.

But, the last paragraph would strike me as the most trust-worthy statement on the condition of the world.

[qoute]of being deported though you were born and reared in America. "
Not in America. Where do they send people and why? Seems you would want to hold onto the criminals or keep tabs on them.

I wouldn't say I've ever been afraid to read a book or voice my political opinion either. I would be very upset at the gas prices!
