Ever since 9/11 western governments have been using the word "terrorism" to justify trampling on the civil rights of human beings everywhere, yourself included. Assuming that you are a human being and not a robot, then this should scare you. In this case at least, being scared of your government is a good thing. Why? You need to be scared. Being scared doesn't mean you give up. Being scared doesn't mean being hopeless. Being scared means you are in danger. Being scared is your brain's primal way of telling you that your brain has identified a threat that should not be ignored. So don't ignore it. Fight back. Use that grey spongey goo you keep between your two ears to do what it does best: Think. Read. Learn. Write. Create. Converse. Organise. Hope.

Ah, the human brain. Corrupt politicians hate it when you actualy use it, they'd much rather you cower in fear or blidly follow them like sheep. They absoluetly despise it when people learn how to utilise critical thinking in the service of freedom and democracy instead of in their service.
