Only that's silly, because you're <i>not</i> in town. So I wish you all sorts of enjoyable things in your own hometown.

It seems most of the population is docile, wanting to be controlled, too comfortable, and alien to my understanding." I have felt that way for almost 35 years now, and at this point {since I visited the US in September 2005 after an 18 year absence} it is an extreme mystery to me how things could be so. Something in the water? Special interference signal on the broadcasts or the cell phones? How can the US citizens eat this crap and like it all the time? I'll pass, no thanks.

Not that I haven’t seen police get nasty, ugly, or violent before. It wasn’t that, it was the sheer numbers, the gas masks, the full body armor, the bikes, horses, strange military vehicles, huge formations, blockaded streets and National Guard units and camo uniforms. It must have come with an astronomical price tag and I don’t see what the point was, nor how citizens today so eagerly justify military and paramilitary presence in their streets. All of it gives me a very unsettling feeling in my gut. It seems most of the population is docile, wanting to be controlled, too comfortable, and alien to my understanding. Pathetic is another word I’d use. This subservience and rationalization that people are so happy to adopt is on the same continuum as the upper middle class bourgouise bloggers who now eschew protest, radical action, or assembling physically in large numbers to confront the system and it’s agents directly–and yet pat each other on the modem and agree they are crashing gates, shaking things up, or more laughably, “revolutionary.” [...] [...] Nezua from the RNC- I will say, though, that St. Paul basically felt like a land that was foreign to my experience.
