Hi, yeah, fighting terror"ism" - the use of terror to tyrannise and control others - sounds familiar doesn't it, and very close to home.

That's like saying "this nation is embracing love." Very sweet, but meaningless.
Trouble is I can believe the former more easily than the latter. There's no money to be made from love unless you're Hallmark, and money's what I hear talking, not peace, co-operation and tolerance. Hell, I'm an idealistic hippy, but if people could just stop knee-jerking and acting so damn scared all the time, maybe they'd be able to listen to other ideas.

Did I mention that I was an idealistic hippy? *g*
