Fearmongering

A frightened populace is an easy to manipulate populace.

"I am so afraid. Please, please make me safe. You can have my rights. I'm not using them anyway."

Ooooooo... more terrorists. Who is it this time? The Chinese? The Lebonese? The Sudanese? The Japanese? The Serbians? The Mexicans? Yosemite Sam? Doctor No? They are different, therefore I fear them.

"Please protect me from the bad men."

Who benefits from our terror? This is the question we all must be asking. The people who are being accused of terrorism do not seem to be benefitting from their actions.

Who gets the power? Who gets the money?

So they put everyone through the security dog and pony show at the airport. I do not feel safer.

I feel oppressed.
