I'm Scared - Of My Own Country



This country has gone barmy. We have lived with a terrorist threat for 30 years. We are used to our train stations having no bins, the underground being closed, the Ring Of Steel around London. These measures are for our protection. But now. Now people are scared. And they are blaming the wrong people.

Muslims and asylum seekers are the first line of blame. But who next? Black people? Koreans? Jews? Homosexuals?

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

Pastor Martin Niemöller

We must not allow the terrorists to destroy our freedoms by fear alone. We must reverse those draconian Anti-Terrorism Laws. We must speak out in defence of asylum seekers, and against the crappy, slow asylum system that helps no one. We must fight those FOOLS in the right wing press who call for an imperialist war in Iraq. Saddam Hussein is an evil tyrant. But it's the West who made him that. We should not STEAL Iraqs oil to feed our pollution creating economy.

Remember Iran, Vietnam, Afganistan. Problems caused on the whole by American and British incompetence and meddling. We must fight our enemies... Al-Qaeda, bigotry, the BNP..... before we create new ones. And we must do it soon.

Marla

You are Marla Singer. You appear to be a cold
person deadened to the outside world who can
take care of themself, But on the inside your
just like everyone else. You seem to be a jerk
on the outside, not caring about others. But
you really do care about others you just show
it a little differently. It's hard for you to
express ideas and thoughts making conversations
short. Something has happend to make you the
way you are. probally some act of cruel
society. You try to be nice but are afriad to
get to close to anyone. You want to be noticed
for who you are and not who others see you as.
You are the voice of reason. And allthough it
doesn't seem like it other people listen to you
and respect you. but sometimes you can be a bit
melodramatic.
