Reflection
The let’s-make-it-really-hurt spray seen ’round the world. Let’s hear it for law and order and no places cluttered up by untidy tents. And where’s the Prez for comment?
Morning scan of the blog posts for the past couple of days. Dismaying stuff, a snapshot of what the USA shows the rest of the world.
Burly police in riot gear hosing down students (smaller than them) with pepper spray. Because they had some tents on campus.
More police with a weird useless weapon developed during the war on terror, for use on an unarmed crowd.
Pictures of the worst of the 1 percent: Infamous bankers, Dick Cheney and loathed corporate leaders who have used their money and power to make everyone else miserable.
The biggest conventional bomb in the world for use on a country smaller than us. Just in case they go for that bomb to deter us from bombing them.
Repetitive fifteen year-old paranoia over American property and multi-national business being sneak-attacked in cyberspace.
