Mike I have to give it to you that pat downs can be fun. But these new ones go pass the point of being fun and where you can relax and enjoy it. I had the oppitunity to be with a young girl that was abused in evey way you could think of and more. She had to go through the new pat downs and she told me that the feeling that she got from that was worse than the abuse.
This is sicking to me to think that my personal space has to be invaded. It is not a easy feeling to deal with TSA all up in your grill. I am all down for security and everything but the new pat downs are a load of bs. How am I suppose to feel safe after beeing felt up. The TSA person that did my pat down actully winked at me and smiled while she was doing it I mean wtf. We all have rights. But it seems to me that our rights as americians are just words on paper now. We may win the battle but we have already lost the war. This is just my opinion. -

Just like for the D, education, but perhaps even more, personal involvement/friendship will help in this very long battle. I've been engaged since 1962 when my dancing partner and I "always had each others' back". I went to his proms with him so he wouldn't get beat up. He pretended to be my fiancee at a random doc's office so I could get birth control pills. And in the interim, we made art for audiences of 5000.....
On the other hand, my #1 niece and my grandson have 2 Moms and my worry for their wellbeing in a hate-filled world is an ostinato of fear in my life. Progress, and yet in so many places, none at all.......
If you are not too exhausted yet by the battle, go with education and engagement with the "online enemy". This is a place that promotes tolerance on the basis of common goals and so you will find that the founders and all the Admin folks are with you when you wish support....I wish us all well in whatever struggles capture our hearts....
