Observation.

Mike Malloy had a discussion once on his radio show, back in the Geo Bush days.

He asked the listening audience to explain when they thought that a nation could be headed into a Holocaust situation.

And after taking calls for two to two and half hours, he ended the discussion with his rather tragic conclusion.

What was it? Basically Mike said that once a nation decides that it is okay to torture or kill just one individual without trying to have a trial or present actual evidence of that person being a terrorist, then everything else is a matter of degrees.

If it is okay to kill one school kid in Pakistan, then it is okay to kill them all.

And same goes for citizens here. Many of us are wondering when it will happen here: when an activity that leads to parts of a major city targeted for looting by agent provacateurs and homeland security and the activity is blamed on protesters, then we protesters and dissidents will be labeled "terrorists" and the wars waged against Muslims overseas will be happening here at home.

(Just last week, the protesters in Oakland Calif. outed two fellow "protesters" as agent provacateurs. The protesters were immediately proven to be right as one of the two men so accused took out a gun and arrested one of the protesters who were accusing him of being a Federal agent or police. And these two men had been all about "Go ahead! It's time now to smash things up and loot!" before they were outed.)
