Re: Patriot Act type legislation
The bad ones are a highly mobile, drug dealing, home invading, raping, slave trading street gang.
I hope it makes us stop judging on apperances. Neither the Biker (BTW paul, bery few of those guys "avoid working" have you seen the price on a Harley these days?) Nor the guy from Yale is nessisarially bad.
There is a big difference. Since I was raised somwhat in that culture, I'll use your example of bikers. Good ones do not sell drugs, do not rob, hijack, or steal. They are tough, and wear the same type of clothes as the bad ones. However when another citizen is in trouble, as in your armed robbery situation, they will be the first to offer help. These guys will be quite valuable if anything happens.And yet those who get the willies easily cannot often tell the difference between the good and the good, and just the ugly biker. And perhaps the biker himself cannot. And perhaps there is not much of a difference, really, until it comes down to the wire.

I hope that the society we have after all of this is over will at least readjust its prejudices about who we need to be afraid of. Maybe the real threats are rich Saudis and Yalies rather than guys who are trying to avoid working for a living by means of tattoos and beer.
