Deny the freedoms of man for security
Confine yourself indoors
The sun causes cancer afterall
Refuse to travel by flight
Terrorists might hijack your plane
Resist the urge to speak your mind
Someone might not like what you have to say
Abolish the postal service
Anthrax is spreading madly
Take your children out of public schools
Can we say Columbine?
Definitly do not question authority
Doing so would be un-patriotic
Cease breathing
Our air might be contaminated

singing"Paranoia strikes deep, into your mind it will creep,starts when your always afraid.The man comes and takes you away,Hey,hey whats that sound listen to whats going down".Song from the 60's.

The tune was "For what it's worth" by Buffalo Springfield,Yeah is a bit of deja Vu.Ever notice it was the masses armed with free thought,an opposing idea that brought down the USSR and the Berlin wall,not a propagated well armed military.Enjoyed your thoughts on free speech and Americas fear of it.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
