“… all the legislation of the world has had its origin in the desires of one class of persons to plunder and enslave others, and hold them as property.”

Independence Day, ten years on, and what do we have to show for our increased domestic security presence?
A small handful of wars,
one [maybe?] dead evil mastermind,
a ruined economy,
third world nation status imminent,
and a malaise that would make Jimmy Carter blanch.
Surely we have more respect for our fallen citizens, emergency responders, and military personnel!
[ NB: this post is twenty days late because it lay in ‘Drafts’ until I read War by Sebastian Unger, at which time it crystallized. I highly recommend the ‘trilogy’ of War, Infidel, and Restrepo. ]
