When I shake the sand out of my eyes and ears and look around, I am capable of being truly sickened by my country. I can't believe we have become a police state. And over shit like this. They say the streets of St. Paul right now are worse than the streets of NYC after 9/11. Freedom of speech doesn't exist anymore. The right to peacefully protest doesn't exist. Why are things like this going on? Why are people being pepper-sprayed at close range for gathering peacefully? Why are homes being invaded and "conspiracy to riot" charges invented against journalists attempting to do their jobs? Why do I bury my head in the sand and watch old cartoons and sitcoms on the internet and play Scrabble and read Jane Austen in my free time? Because of things like this. Back to my cartoons. |
