My old friend John Henry Faulk used to jokingly say, "I may not know everything, but I do know the difference between a warm rain and a dog pissin' on my leg." What is there not to figure out about what is happening to our nation and our community? The neo-con warlords who run our administration have lied to us about 9/11; they have initiated and carried out unconcealed imperialistic attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq to steal their oil; our national budget is being ransacked; and they have passed the blatantly unconstitutional Homeland Security and PATRIOT Act legislation. On a local level, we have full-time armed police in our schools, we have armed police at Whole Foods, helicopters are constantly monitoring us and there have been over 300 surveillance cameras put up around Austin in the last two years (Don't you feel safer?). Friends, it is important to understand that it is more than just a "warm rain" that is deluging our nation – wake up!
