Please, remember these words: "An injury to one is an injury to all."

In the coming months (as in the last year and a half) "others" will be targeted as terrorists. Dealt with because they represent a threat to the security of the "homeland". God how I hate that compound word; "homeland". It bothers me that homeland is being used in place of "America", in place of "the USA". There is something about that word which reminds me of the "Nurenburg Laws" of Germany in the 1930s. "Gestapo" was derived from Government State Police or Geheim Stats Polizei. "Heim" means 'home'. Homeland would have been (and IS) 'Heimat'.

Canada and Germany are moving to declare the Hells Angels a terrorist organization. The US is encourageing this because they wish to destroy the Angels and haven't been able to do it through "legitimate" legal means. You probably don't care if the Hells Angels get destroyed. Who needs them? right? BUT if we use laws supposedly designed to protect us from Al Quieda to rid ourselves of a biker gang then those laws will be applied to OTHER organizations and individuals as well. It should NEVER be OK for law enforcement organizations to act outside the constitution, not even against Osama Bin Laden.

I fear that we are in grave peril of losing our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms and our protection under the Bill of Rights.

An injury to one is an injury to all!
