what hitler did, we can do better
the federal government of this great island nation has just passed new "anti-terror" laws that make the united states' patriot act look like a human rights initiative. times are getting very sad and borderline ugly right now. it is reminiscent of nazi germany in the 1930's. i may even be breaking some laws by mentioning how fucked up things have gotten. i could be dragged out of my house at any time and locked up in jail without due process, without consultation of a lawyer, and denied contact with the outside world for up to 14 days. this type of laws and actions by the federal government is taking this nation further down a path where it does not belong. where will it end?
however, i figure if you are really pissed off with someone, say your highschool math teacher, you could simply turn them in to the proper "authorities" and accuse them of being a terrorist, then your upcoming math test on friday will not happen. on the same note, if you don't feel like turning up to work for the next two weeks, you could dob yourself in. there are some creative possibilities with this new law. unfortunately, reality in this case is total shit.
i am hearing echoes of thousands of voices from argentina during the 1980's.
