Profiling

When it comes to national defense, profiling is a necessary evil when looking for possible violators of our "civil rights". The Muslim community, after 911, should be looked at after what had happened. Should we look at the world as a whole, or the "community" that was responsible. That would be a total waste of time, in the long run. It's possible that another category could also attack our freedoms, but not for the 911 result. After Pearl Harbor, in 1941, the American Japanese community was treated very badly by our country, but it's hard to put an extreme amount of blame on it at the time. After all, who attacked our country? I'm sure that everyone involved at the time would have liked for another manner of attempting to protect our families from further harm, but in time of emergency, you do what you think is right at the time. You don't have time to research, when your civil rights have just been violated in a catastrophic manner. All you want to do, is to take an immediate response and then possibly research what you might do as a final result.

Categorical selection has been argued against in this country for some time, but common sense has to prevail. If a bank has just been robbed by individuals in a green Jaguar, the police are not going to put much emphasis on blue Chevrolet's. But, if someone witnessed individuals leaving a green Jaguar and carjacking a blue Chevrolet, then the scenario would logically change. If this country is going to start any kind of a turn in a positive direction, logical reasoning is going to have to be an accepted method of defense, irregardless of who feels that they have had their toe's stepped on. The Ten Commandments controversy is a good example of what can happen when logical reasoning is ignored. One person out of a total community, controlling where and when the Commandments are to be displayed is a total and complete entity of idiocy. This country had best "wake up", but it appears that our controlling, elected, officials are going to continue their "nap"!
