Come on... this video is so onesided. I am white and would have no problem if Chinese authorities questioned my immigration status when visiting China on the sole basis that I am white. This is just another professor who wishes to warp the minds of the future and continually tie America's hands behind its back. I have read articles in the past from this so called professor of law critisizing the Bush administration for war-crimes,Gitmo, etc., however, she glaringly omits the Obama administration from any of her critiques. I bet you cannot define what a criminal looks like, but you sure as hell may have a reasonable suspicion when criminal activity is afoot. That dosent mean that we should wait for the crime to occur before we inquire as to the suspicious behavior. Or maybe we should just allow all illegals into this Country, allow messages of American hatred to spew out of the mouths of such illegals and then watch them blow up a building. Maybe I should have gone to law school as it seems that anyone could become a law professor.
"The only thing we have to fear is... fear itself." - Franklin D. Roosevelt.
This is probably one of the most famous quotes in American History, and nearly as repeated as the one where our president told the world he was a pastry. And yet, despite its popularity, it is barely understood.
I think to really understand it, you need to see the whole sentence instead of the popular quote:
"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
It is a warning. It means that we cannot let fear guide our actions. We cannot allow fear to cause us to act rashly, for it is that very fear that truly leads to nightmarish possibilities.
This Arizona statute is born of fear, and it is, as the author warns, eerily similar to the Japanese concentration camps that embarrassed this great nation during WWII. We need to learn from our past mistakes, not repeat them.
this may seem a little out of place here, but I cannot help but think of this when I see responses that justify the erosion of our Constitutional rights out of fear of terrorists and bombers.
how unfair life has been!!???
