While we're busy bitchslapping each other, THEY are starting on profiling
Just another day in Pugilistan. Democrats bitch slapping Democrats.

And while we're otherwise occupied, a new Bad Moon's Arising.

Profiling.

Coming to an airport near you. And how soon will it be before it comes to you town ... or your home?

This is a serious debate being waged worldwide. The Brits are all over it right now. The pundits here in The good 'ol USofA are talking about it too. You know .... innocently tossing it out there. Seeing what sticks to our national wall.

A google 'news' search for the word 'profiling' brought up 2,930 stories just a few minutes ago.

Some headlines:

"Britain mulls over air passenger profiling"

"Passenger profiling considered"

"Passenger profiling: A way forward?"

"Profiling, wiretaps suggested as anti-terror tools"

"Top cop slams passenger profiling"

"City Need Not Negotiate Racial Profiling Study With Police Union"

"Ready for some profiling, Mrs. Smith?"

Do you need any more? Just do the google. Its all there.

But maybe its better to just keep bitch slapping each other. After all. Nothing gets the ol' testosterone a flowin' like a good slap to the back of the other guy's head. Especially if the guy ya slap is on the same side as you .....

:eyes:

I know I'll feel a shitload safer when I get stopped cuz I might look to someone like an A-rab. Just ask the thousands (millions?) of black men who suffered this indignity in the height of the stupid fucking War On Drugs. Ask how many of them were injured or killed in the fallout from some bogus fucking traffic stop.

Or just keep beating up on Greens or moderate Dems or Lieberman or Lamont supporters or liberals or lefties or DLCers for their views.

Keep your eyes on the ball, people. One more right to privacy and freedom from undue search and seizure is about to be yanked from under our sorry asses.
