Abandon All Hope, All Ye Who Enter Here

We're also watching 2 other documentaries that are going to make my blog full of a lot more "F" words. Trust me on that.

Unprecedented
Unconstitutional

Editors Note: "Unconstitutional" so far it's great and yes, I'm fucking pissed off. Being pissed off is not a comfortable feeling, but it's necessary for change.

Some notes of interest (Again, feel free to check these):
1.) 1,000 plus people "detained" for months and months in this country even though they were not charged with crimes but soley based on their religion and/or ethnic group. In small cells, solitary confinement, including entire families, even children, for months.

2.) Mass deportations of citizens seeking political asylum in this country were sent back to the country they were running from. Entire families, even children.

3.) Guantanamo Bay, well, it's disgusting. And it appears that by calling someone a "terrorist" means we do not need to treat them like human beings by following the Geneva Conventions.

4.) Through the Patriot Act, the government, police, FBI, ALL government agents can check your email, library records, police, medical and internet searching records whenever they want. You.

5.) I saw video of when people protested at Bush's inauguration, cops with hidden faces in plain clothes were spraying people in close range with pepper spray and beating people with nightsticks. People that were clearly just standing there in peaceful protest.

Yea, like I said. I'm pissed off...still. Some good news: A lot of counties and municipalities around the US have banded together to put in place City Council agreed upon legislation that will not let the Patriot Act be allowed in their areas, if you will.

Man I gotta go to sleep.
