I remember hearing our dear idiot in chief saying the “terrorists hate us because of our freedom”. Well guess what? They must not hate us as much because that freedom keeps getting more and more limited. A case in point is this story about a blogger in Connecticut who wanted to do a story about the French fries on the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Ferry. Apparently his nephews loved these greasy treats and he took a picture of them while on his way across the Long Island Sound.
The vendors became suspicious of someone taking a snapshot of their food and the whole thing turned into a nasty “you might be a terrorist” incident. What the hell is happening in this country? Being cautious is one thing but fingering a guy taking pictures of French fries as a terrorist is just plain loopy.
What kind of lame brained terrorist needs reconnaissance photos of the fast food to know how to poison/infect/whatever it? Come on folks, wise up! The climate of fear the Bush folks have fostered is unhealthy and does nothing to make us safer. Common sense precautions are a good thing, but paranoia only shows that the terrorists have succeeded. After all as their name suggests they want to instill terror! Well worrying about a guy taking pictures of French fries is about as terrifying as it gets.
