Tell A Friend

By Jim Freeman (about the author)     Page 5 of 5 page(s)

opednews.com     Permalink

"Is there a problem, officer," is said by Americans with the little bit of swagger that adds "you better have a damned good reason." I thank my country often for the ability to walk without fear, knowing no one wants me, no one wishes me ill, no one gives a damn who I am.

There isn't a man or woman among us who would trade that ability to sleep peacefully and un-bothered for someone else's concept of the fear of terrorism. Thanks anyway, Jane, I'll take my chances on good old traditional American police work.
