I  have written the above  diary entry  'Remember How It Was to Be Free' in the Y2005. Since that time it only became worse.  Recently  I was challenged by a commenter to name at least one liberty we, Americans have lost since 9/11 due to Bushies.  I am asking every  reader to  name one. Did your life change?  How do you feel: better or worse?  Do you feel free?  You know, folks, a year ago  in Miami airport a man was shot because he  was not given his medication and started to behave' strangely'. His wife was there and tried to explain, all in vain. And I do not know about you, folks but I felt that could be me. I  sometimes feel nervous in public places. I sometimes can behave ' strangely' and speak strange language ( Russian).  i can be impatient and even raspy.  You know,  I  would say that before   all that crap we had  after 9/11 I would  count on support in such cases from the authorities.  I would count on care. Now I think they will kill me.  How about you?
