Keep your eyes on the real killers, everyone.  Trying to blame writers like me for "terrorism" and the furthering of that fantasy is like saying the "homeless" are the reason for the financial collapse of the American economy and small businesses all over the nation.  This is more of the same scapegoating I've been seeing my entire life.  No matter the group, it always seems that money is the one entity pushing around those groups.  Whether they be the Black Panther Party or the Occupy Movement, the source of misery where all those movements are concerned is the power structure.  Having unlimited (because those citizens you're screwing are good little tools and obey everything you throw at them out of fear and desperation and lack of courage) cash and time resource to stick us all in that proverbial box is a precious commodity we on this side do not possess.

So let's not let this crap happen!  You can help reverse this nonsense.  I have a petition for you all to sign.

Help us put an end to this unconstitutionality before they take it all from us.  You have to see how those in power are maneuvering their pieces on the board right now.  They're putting our Queen in a corner and they are attacking, diagonally, and are pinning our knights and have stripped the position of our bishops and have taken them and our rooks.  And we're attacking their advancing pawns, because we don't want them getting back their Queen, a piece we took a just over two hundred years ago.  They have three advancing pawns and we're too busy guarding our Queen with the rest of our power, which is minimal.

They're going after the first and second amendments right now... that is not a coincidence.  And no matter where you stand on the gun issues, we all stand on freedom of speech, I think.  Well, those of us who like speaking freely and not in control of everything cares.  If you get our voices and our defense, what is left?
