DHS thoughts? | Homestead Security | Forums

Congrats on the baby BA!

Like others have said, I am concerned for the world my daughter is going to grow up in. Like others have said though our parents and grandparents have gone through the same thing with their children. The biggest difference I see though is I'm not afraid of a axis of power taking over, I'm not afraid of russia nuking us. I'm concerned for the attack on civil liberties I perceive on the US citizen and the society of fear that is being forced upon us.

Couple examples. Our school district is having a budget crunch. Our bus drivers take their buses home with them at night and you see them at the grocery store and such on their way home. One of the parents offered that maybe the buses should stay at the depot at night and the drivers pick up their buses there in the morning and drop off in the afternoon, that way fuel consumption would be decreased and warming up the buses in the morning.

The response was if there was ever a terrorist attack on the buses, it's better that they aren't kept in a central location. if they were spread out it would minimize damage. Now I can understand high school pranksters maybe pouring sugar down a gas tank or something, if that would have been the response, I wouldn't have thought anything about it.

But when the response was Terrorists, I was shocked.

We were talking about this in chat the other night, they are trying to push a bill through the state here to require a judges order to use a drone here in Maine. A drone, in Maine, what are they looking for? A moose?

I don't get the mentality of people when they say, well I don't do nothing wrong so it doesn't concern me. What? Is this really a slope people want to go down that we have no idea where it ends.

I don't know what the answer is, all I can do is raise my daughter the best I can, hopefully teach her to question everything, try and make sure my voice is heard through the proper channels.
