[Randex]What are they afraid of?

[O-Land News Junkie]

What is going on in America and our accepted treatment of domestic travelers? This question brings to mind Ayn Rand's socially relevant novella, Anthem, where the "We" is not superior to the "I"... "social gains, social aims, social objectives have become the daily bromides of our language. The necessity of a social justification for all activities and all existence is now taken for granted. There is no proposal outrageous enough but what its author can get a respectful hearing and approbation if he claims that in some undefined way it is for 'the common good'". They are in fact a dichotomous relationship where never the two shall meet. A relationship consisting of our Civil Liberties and our Union's Safety.
