One of the coolest things about Netvibes is that all these blog urls I’ve collected over the years can all be converged into one resource. I can now easily peruse experiences of others not viewed in a while.

Anyway, given how I was getting into the lives of others, I was considering not posting (or posting any further) today…

But this guy’s recent experience at a US airport changed my mind.

Sure, an dark-looking guy wearing a shirt with Arabic writing on it in a a large airport may cause some Fox-fed paranoid dumbasses to freak out. But come on! Has it come to a point in this country where every single pinpoint of opinion is subject to the highest of scrutiny?

People come to this country to get away from shit like this. My folks did. To experience it here NOW is beyond hopelessness.

Best quote from the article:

It sucks to be an Arab/Muslim living in the US these days. When you goto the middle east, you are a US tax-payer destroying people’s houses with your money, and when you come back to the US, you are a suspected terrorist and plane hijacker.
