On Sunday, February 13, 2001 a group of Muslims attended an event where a group of "patriotic" protesters held signs that read, "God Bless the USA". But as 'Sharia Law' and 'Jihad' are demonized in Western media and by our elected officials, a closer look reveals another side to the story.

There's two big failures in our democracy. One is all the corporate money that's going into our election process, and the second failure is that we have a negligent and indolent press that has simply let down American democracy.

Do you see the greed? What's the synonym for greed? Infinity! There's no limit to corporate greed. And when you combine corporate greed and power? There's no limit. They get slaves--sweat shops overseas or dark streets in New York City where they are working for a buck or two an hour--60-70 hours a week. It's like slavery. And there is no end to it unless we subject it to the rule of law and subject it to political control.

This has been a solution looking for a problem. But what it's doing is give the federal government the right to track you. I haven't found a 10-year period when the federal government hasn't violated individual civil liberties. This is information that should not be held by the federal government--because you can't trust them. They've demonstrated that for the past 100 years and I suspect the next 100 years would be the same.
