Comments on: A Space for Equal Protection Under Law at the Inaugural Parade http://irregulartimes.com/index.php/archives/2009/01/02/a-space-for-equal-protection-under-law-at-the-inaugural-parade/ When old landmarks crumble, established roads no longer lead the way. New paths open to those with an irregular eye. Our news is unfit for print.

This is a <i>demonstration</i> calling for Barack Obama to respect the Constitution and the principles incorporated therein, including equal protection under law. It's entirely compatible with what you're saying. Tom, you’re missing the point.

Over the past 8 years we've documented how we are decidedly NOT protected, in fact we're now all equally persecuted (via once illegal spying on citizens for no reason and without court order, random/warrantless search and seizure by police, and all the other rights which have been stripped from us to make way for the Homeland Security goons). So watch your back and notice who's watching (if you can, since much of it will be electronically and maybe even spy-satellite driven), and realize we aren't in America right now (the one you were born in, politically/rights and privacy speaking). Maybe, if Obama doesn't want to use these same tyrannical powers grabbed by Bush, he'll start to bring us back to the kind of democracy our country was designed to be by overturning all or most of the ugly, dictatorial laws that were passed under Shrub, prosecute his (and all his cronies) ass and make these jerks pay for totally screwing up (both here and abroad). Of course, we could just naively ignore it all and "look ahead" and hope for a brighter future.
