Traveling by air throughout the US has created a system of airport security that assumes the citizens of this nation are by their very nature, terrorists.sYou are a terrorist… until proven otherwise. This seems to be the view of the TSA or Transportation Security Agency. The citizen’s of the United States are standing idly by while our RIGHTS are being stripped without question, all in the name of Homeland Security. I can proudly say that I’m all for Homeland Security, but it’s time that the pendulum swung back towards the center. Today, I was at the airport in New Mexico, (a hot bed of terrorism, NOT!), and the TSA screeners made an old woman in a wheelchair in her 80’s get out of the wheel chair and forced her to walk without the aid of her cane through the metal detectors. While I feel much better about the baggage screening process, I do believe that common sense has been checked at the door, as we continue to harass the flying public because of the errors of September 11th. The only thing that this is perpetuating is big government, big budgets, and into deeper debt as a nation. For some reason, there are people today that are willing to sacrifice liberty for security. I submit what Benjamin Franklin, one of our founding fathers had to say on the subject, “They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security” This is unfortunately what we have done.

My Johnny Depp Quiz
You Are Ed Wood From "Ed Wood."
You definitely have your name in history, although probably not for the reason you believe. Yet you are very accepting, non-judgemental, and optimistic almost to a fault. You also have a thing for angora sweaters. How could anyone not like you?

We got Trouble… Right here in Riv-ah City!
There’s always something going on! Well, I gotta new Job, and beat a speeding ticket, and we had a great launch recently. Hmmm.. I was also ailor of the Quarter, and received a Navy-Marine Corps Achievement Medal. You just can’t beat that. I’m looking forward to the near future. Lots of changes, and yet other things will stay the same.
- I wonder why I’m the person though who is the point person. I have leadership through information. And the person at my work, the former manager who had legitimate power, has found himself diminished from his pedistal. I’m so low on the totem pole, I still wonder why people look towards me for answers, but they do, and I guess it’s a good thing. But I’m outta here soon anyways to pursue my new career! And it is a career. I can finally put that BS degree to good use.s
There is good TV on these days, and if you haven’t been watching "Dead Like Me" on showtime, you are really missing out. And when you are feeling really naughty, watch Free For All. That show is a riot!

Happy Birthday – 34th
Here I ams34th Birthday… and what is it all about? I spent the day at some local themeparks, and eating at the HardRock Cafe for lunch. What a day. Did I mention that I did work for 3 hours. I had enough after just a bit, and my boss was nice enough to let me leave. sLive is so strange, I’ve been watching a lot of Pay TV lately, you know, like showtime, HBO, etc… there are some interesting shows on there. At least interesting to me. I found that this one show on Showtime really interests me; it’s called Dead like me. sSo what did I get for my birthday? Well, you’d think I was 15, but I got videogames for the PS2. I don’t feel bad, I mean what do you get someone who is pretty satisfied with the things in life that he has? My mom sent me some money, as well as my Aunt who sent a nice Card. My brother Bill also sent a card. He’s expecting twins this weekend. They spent a lot of time teasing me about the fact that the twins might have been born on my birthday. I told them I was selfish, and wasn’t going to share it with anyone. So it looks so far that I won’t be sharing. It’s not as if there are many people with my birthday, at least famous ones. I wonder what those Celebrities do on their birthday. I wonder if there really is any connection with people who are born on this day?sWho knows… here I am, and where am I?sI wonder what I am doing?sI wonder what I am going to accomplish?sI look out on the precipice to see what’s there…sIt’s half way over.sHow much time do we get?sThirty Four plus Thirty four?sSixty Eight and no time to rest…sI have a lifetime to work,sAnd no time to enjoy the rest of my life.sWhat am I doing?sThis I must fix. I see it clearly now.sThis is the end, and the beginning.s-SailorJ
