Xenophobia maybe a problem in the whitehouse but I am wondering how the american populace are faring?? Are the "terror threat levels" affecting and preventing people from enjoying their daily lives like it used to back in 2001?? I am wondering because the news media mentions the threat levels every now and then and its effect on me is wearing off.

Is the use of the word "evil" really politically correct?? I mean is there really such as thing as a perfectly evil nation?? Do bush voters believe this is politically correct to say??

If a country(any country) does not have the same rules and ideology as the US. Then does that mean its evil to be different?? I remember that in another BBS some guy thinks its evil not to be democratic and that I would burn in hell and not be saved if I don't believe in democracy. Since when has it became a religon?? Actually I am a neutral guy so I don't want to choose sides. Democracy isn't bad but I don't like it when people go to extremes to force the belief on others. Extremists come in many shapes and forms but I doubt many would expect such atitude from a democrat. Doesn't happen too often but it happens.

Finally the reason why I used the word xenophobia is because of the patriot act. Some people unfortunatley are willing to sacrafice freedom for security. Put is it really a good way to counter fear? by giving the government more and more power?
