Ray McGovern, retired CIA officer, was tackled and dragged to the ground by civil servants behaving like goons, for standing silently with his back to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as she spoke. How far then are we from troops firing on American civilians?

And so the fourth of July has come, the celebration of the first declaration of war by the United States on the day of its founding in 1776.

The TSA recently pulled an elderly cancer patient out for a private screening at the airport because her wheelchair could not fit through the X-ray machine. Taken to a private location she was strip searched and even forced to remove her adult diaper. The old woman was released and eventually made her plane connection; her daughter however, did not. She was detained by the TSA on a charge of acting suspiciously. If your elderly mother had been stripped naked by government goons how do you suppose she acted suspiciously?

Authors Bio:

I who am I? Born at the pinnacle of American prosperity to parents raised during the last great depression. I was the youngest child of the youngest children born almost between the generations and that in fact clouds and obscures who it is that I am really.

Given a front row seat for the generation of the 1960's I lived in Chicago in 1960. My father was a Democratic precinct captain, my mother an election judge. His father had been a Union organizer and had been beaten and jailed for his efforts. His first time in jail was for punching a Ku Klux Klansman during a parade in the 1930's. I never felt as if I was raised in a family of activists but seeing it print makes me think, yes. That is a part of who I am.

Multilevel media, giving more access to communication yet stunting actual communication. More noise, less voice, more sound less music, more law less justice, more medicine less life.
