What makes us really insecure

is our perception of danger. So many of us, primarily those in "leadership" positions, are constantly telling us of the dangers, and making so many of our public places look like armed camps, as they are. Yes, the threat is there, but the curent methods of security are merely "feel-good" methods at... Sign in to see full entry.

How can we be secure

in London? I may do or say something strange (It's common for those who blog to be otherwise strange!) and an armed officer will determine I am a threat and put five bullets into my head. Gads, that is frightening, and I see it coming here as well. We need to get rid of that rights-stealing,... Sign in to see full entry.

Security is in our attitude . . . .

And we, collectively, have the attitude of wimpy, spoiled brats who expect "those in charge" to protect us. Well, let's wake up, it is past time to awaken to the fact that we, ourselves, are responsible for our own safety. Our founding fathers and their contemporaries, those who fought for...

Security is a frame of mind . . .

We are turning into a nation of cowards. Sign one that we are cowards: We are willing to allow the government to dlete our Constitutional rights, one by one, becasue we are scared and want to live longer. Well, what good is living longer if it is not as a free man or woman? Would you want to live in... Sign in to see full entry.

How Secure are we

when British passport holders can come into this country without even the interview process to check them out? Britain is one of the "Golden Countries" whose citzens get to circumvent many of our security procedures. Yet, Great Britain has a large number of young, dissatisfied Muslim citizens,...

Security is multi-layered

Our error is in believing that "the authorities" can protect us. Certainly, they provide structure and systems within which we may work, but it is ulitmately the personal responsibility of each individual to be secure and to ensure the overall security of our society. How do we do this, this... Sign in to see full entry.

The Patriot Act is a Detrement to Security . . .

It is an act that diminishes or personal freedoms in the name of expediency and inthe false hope of increased security. Our rights are slowly being taken from us. No! Wait! I'm wrong! We are slowly giving our rights away. Sign in to see full entry.

Congressman Cunningham makes me feel insecure

Randy Cunningham is a Congressman on the appropriations committee being investigated by the FBI for self-enrichment from contractors. He says he is innocent, yet, if you look at his life, his home, his actions, you can't help but clearly see an abuse of his power and responsibilities as a... Sign in to see full entry.

Money Better Spent to Ensure Security

would be money spent on parenting classes and on education. Parents today lack the skills to raise children in a manner that will lead to their children's respect of others, others' property and those in authority, including their own parents. On the education stage, we need to get back to teaching... Sign in to see full entry.

We are secure now!

A TSA worker recently disarmed a kid's GI Joe of his weapon before allowing it on a flight. It was a two-inch M-16 (or similar) the GI Joe toy was carrying, and the TSA worker would not allow such a weapon on the flight. We are eternaly safe and gratified that this was done. Horrors to think that a... Sign in to see full entry.
