Shame on us.
Dispatches from the anxiety future
The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It's over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam. - J.G. Ballard
Life without industry is guilt, and industry without art is brutality. - John Ruskin

You know, I'm just a tad younger than her and for some reason, every single time I fly out of Sydney (domestically...not internationally) I am pulled up have to take off my shoes, empty my bag etc etc etc...every time. Then when they have finished... I am left standing in the middle of the floor, with shos, coar and contents of bag all over the place endeavouring to get myself together again. I am boiling by this time but at 53 have the sense to "play the game" because it can happen to me...no worries there.
I know who the real bloody terrorists are and they wear expensive suits, make and break all the rules and want for nothing except a soul...
that poor bloody woman.
I have to go to Arizona later this year on a family issue. I tell you, terrorist I am not, but a train or Greyhound is looking better and better to me. Because I am pissed enough about this sort of thing to WANT to get into trouble and make a scene.
I always wanted travel arround the US and see things, however there is no way I am going untill such things stop. I am not a criminal and refuse to be treated as one. I'm not going anywheer where I'm not wanted.
