o please, dj: look at posts 8-12 and tell me that i am blowing anything out of proportion. ustwo posted a list of victims of 9/11 and concluded with the "threat is real" slogan--this move ran directly counter to the position he outlined before that and counter to what we wrote later as qualification. it was a clearly an index that tried to justify whatever displays of authority the state would decide to take in the name of the war on terror.
perhaps you read things differently than that--had i posted as late in the thread as you did, dj, perhaps i would have agreed with you and not bothered with this at all. there was no way to anticipate a response to the post. not psychic. sorry.
