COMMON SENSE & THE CONSTITUTION GO OUT THE WINDOW
"NEW YORK (Reuters) - A lawyer was arrested late Monday and charged with trespassing at a public mall in the state of New York after refusing to take off a T-shirt advocating peace that he had just purchased at the mall." Link to ABC / Link to AP

We're making decisions based not on principle, law, or even common sense -- but on raw unprocessed fear. It's happened before. Remember the Japanese interment camps in WWII and the McCarthyism of the 50's? With each episode of illogical fear acted out by an American it is evident that the terrorists have gained another notch on their belts -- a notch etched deeper than what could be cut with an actual act of terrorism. Relax. Stay calm. Don't arrest everyone who refuses to tow the party line. And we'll get through this with our nation not only intact -- but also stronger for it.
