    Hitler tattooed the forearms of his 'enemies'.

    Nixon had his 'enemies list'.

    Bush has his "Terrorism Watch List".

    Not too long ago I was 'detained' while flying from Chicago to St. Kitts. No explanation as to why I was 'selected' to be pulled from the cattle-like lines of those boarding the plane was offered. I was 'frisked' with a hand-held device, asked several questions, and there was the implication that if I became belligerent or uncooperative, it would not be tolerated. Was I on 'the list'??? I don't know.

    I do know, however, that I'm supposedly living in a 'free' country that presumes me to be innocent until proven guilty. Such intimidation tactics are wrong.

    This is nothing more than police-state scare tactics, designed to implant fear in both the person being singled out - AND - to ensure more compliance from all those others waiting in line to board the aircraft.

    We live in a free society. If we are going to remain a free people, we MUST be willing to assume that certain 'risks' come with our democracy, even the 'risks' that 'terrorists' might live among us. Otherwise, we become just another tattoo, another name on the enemies' list, or another 'suspect' that can be detained, intimidated, or even jailed - if for no other reason than to be made an example of.

    As one state motto so proudly declares: "Live free or die".

    I would rather take my chances with a 'terrorist' than be subjected to government indignities that take away my freedoms - one at a time. -RKO- 07/30/08

    Considering the multiple accounts that many users possess and maintain, it would be quite a difficult task to accurately determine how many would be blacklisted, the exact same problem that plagues the Terrorist Screening Center to begin with (suspects' aliases). LOL

    I heard it was closer to a million and increasing by 20 thousand per day. I expect that many of us on Y/A are on their watch list because they just can't stomach alternative points of view.

    How would I know, where is the list? Let's just assume, yes I'm on it...isn't it cute how they protect the annonymity of terror suspects? Cause they know probably 99.9% of them are completely benign.

    Remember starwars? "execute order number 66"

Rather could only blame the mongers who come here to pick statistics whilst Bill Gate has ignited self enterprise for communities to share knowledge some gossip columnist and critics has taken is another step to finance and instigate immoral whilst generation are being wipe out on street corners around the global spectrum.

    Majority of us are here to make it work for the Peace between the Dark Skin & Jewish Today whilst we seek immediate solution with THE YELLOW EMBLEM & MUSLIMS THAT BERLIN HAS TEARED THE WALLS OF SEGREGATION!

    They can continue with their statistics to instigate metaphor rather we are keeping our mouth ZIP whilst we watch them as hawk for their own SAFETY.

    Whatever is coming not only will let us ? the greedy busters who has channelled Editorial Print TO KEEP COMMUNITIES IN STATISTICS rather we will start investigate WHAT IS SLAVERY TODAY IN MODERN TERMS.

    NAIVE YOUR NAME IS NOT THERE BET YOU ON TOP FOR DRAWING THAT ?

    RATHER SISTER CAN ONLY LEAVE U GRACE AS THEY HAVE DONE IT WHILST THE PEACE BETWEEN THE DARKSKIN COMMUNITY & JEWISH OF TODAY IS SURVILLANCE AT THE HEART OF ISREAL AS THE ONLY AWARENESS & CLASS LEFT!

    TELL THEM THE GLOBAL PEACE TREATY IS SIGNED IN BERLIN SO ANY COMMUNITY HAS NOT SIGNED IT SHOULD GO AND SEE HIS OR HER COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP.

    AMERICA GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP IS SIGNED WITH OBAMA IMPRINT THAT THE MEDIA CONTINUATION AND VILLAGE ELDERS COMMITMENT THAT WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT WORK FOR ALL AND CONTINUATION OF TEARING THE WALLS OF SEGREGATION IS HERE ON THE PLATTER.
