This is Terrorists Winning: Stupid Unconstitutional TSA Patdowns--REALLY!?

Airport Fake Security Theatre: Boycott this way-beyond The Patriot Act violation of civil rights.
Watch just a few of these, and decide for yourself if this is the direction we should go. I use the word STUPID because of the strange patdowns of little children and grandmothers, of forcing breast cancer suvivors to remove prostheses, etc., while those who Are threats CLEARLY (to ANY IQ 80 or above) are ignored.
Fu'Cryin' out LOUD.

[[here is excerpt from the latest:" Jean Weber of Destin filed a complaint with the Department of Homeland Security after her 95-year-old mother was detained and extensively searched last Saturday while trying to board a plane to fly to Michigan to be with family members during the final stages of her battle with leukemia.

Her mother, who was in a wheelchair, was asked to remove an adult diaper in order to complete a pat-down search.“It’s something I couldn’t imagine happening on American soil,” Weber said Friday. “Here is my mother, 95 years old, 105 pounds, barely able to stand, and then this.” http://www.newsherald.com/news/mother-94767-search-adult.html. ]]

England Riots and says "Off with their heads!", China's Peace Prize winners are thrown in jail, and in USA we Use Our Words at City Hall

Since a piece of my heart is in England, it was troubling to hear of the violence in people's hearts making it out onto the streets.

It is one thing to be angry about the high costs of college tuition; quite another to Steal a Line from Lewis Carroll or Charles Dickens or the French Folks and urge an angry mob to decapitate

the main source of tourism for the motherland. /2010/12/10/latest-london-protests-not-all-about-students.html
although,
does sound fun in an Alice in Wonderland sort of way...

Still,
that is better than China.
Chinese folks
who support democracy or those who work for it are under constant threat of being executed, jailed, or worse (non-volunteer organ donor, anyone?)

Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo

In America, we have learned to use our words, organizing, writing, and peaceful protest to promote change. For example, here in Manhattan, there is a conflict of words and ideas, on an issue which has been addressed in various ways for many years. A city ordinance addressing civil rights issues is being thoroughly examined not with death threats or imprisonment, but with the slow steps of logic, law, and not without emotion:
One the one side: Here
and
on the other side: Here
probably more than 2 sides but a vote is a vote.
More on this later.
