GUEST,InOBU Lorcan Otway	Dylan picked up for street walking (Aug 2009) (220* d)	RE: Dylan picked up for street walking	15 Aug 09
Was a time, when we believed we had the right to be left alone in America, and for a white man, that was often the case, never was for a Black American, the permanent suspect class in the US. Question we should ask is, what if it wasn't Dylan? I hope that is the question Bob is asking himself tonight. It is the poor damned soul with no job, with no ID, with little hope, who SHOULD have the RIGHT to just be ... and yes, we do live in a police state. Do read the NY Times piece last week on the criminalisation of poverty in the US. We have a prison population of 2.3 million here. We have 2.3 million in public housing, if you are some poor sod with no place to go, you've got a 50 50 chance of getting a window with glass or a window with bars. Bob, ask your self, WWWD - what would Woody do... This land is your land? Not any more.
