Al Gore in part of the best speech he's ever given
(and I hope one he really meant) saying what is
rarely said about the threat America currently
faces.
I would argue we have something very important to
deal with today (but nothing to fear, and nothing
to give up freedom for, and as Al says, much less
of a threat than we've faced in our past - until
US authoritarians succeed in expanding that threat
to be historically greater, that is...), i.e.
stopping these authoritarians (in our country)
that are using terrorism to grow their own
power... this is a threat that is greater than
from terrorist organizations themselves, because
authoritarians in charge of our security (in our
government & some companies) are using terrorist
attacks to move the US from democracy towards
totalitarian government. That conflict of interest
must be dealt with or else terrorists & those that
want to lessen freedom here in the US will both
win (they both independently have the same goal
and are using each other to achieve it). Tags :algorefreedomlibertyauthoritarianfinallysomeonesaysthiswarisforsuckers
