“It is always worth remembering that humans can adopt very warped attitudes, even to the point of falling in love with mad dogs… and mad rulers. But more to the actual point of mad dogs and all that, the mindset of all the various branches of what is currently lumped under the moniker ‘Homeland Security’ – from the top right down to the domestic police force – has devolved to the point where a growing swath of the general population is now actively afraid of them. Previously, it was only black people who had been trained by bitter experience to fear ‘the man.’ Now the rest of us are beginning to understand what they have been complaining about all these years.”
