Okay, look; I do the best I can, for the most part, to make this place fun. And, while the focus is mainly about comics, cartoons, geekiness, and the like; occasionally some things come down the pipe that need our serious attention.
Such is the case of the Indefinite Detention bill that has recently passed Congress by a 93 to 7 vote... which, by the way, causes me to choke just thinking about... as it makes its way to be either vetoed or signed into law. And it's looking more than likely that this Bill of Rights crusher is going to get signed.
Why is this so awful? Well, in a nutshell, it declares the entirety of the world as a battle ground against terror, with he right to identify, and hold indefinitely, any person as a combatant.
THIS INCLUDES UNITED STATES CITIZENS ON U.S. SOIL; AND REQUIRES NO MORE THAN AN ONSITE OFFICAL TO DECLARE YOU SO.
We here at Neverland Transit Authority urge you to Tweet, blog, Facebook, email, or whatever it takes to get the word out about this egregious trespass on our civil liberties.
Remember, as Ben Franklin was said, that those who sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither.
