... according to google is
terrorism/terrizm/
Noun:
The use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.
*The use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.*
how many governments does that definition cover?
how many politicians?
as someone who was born, (mostly) grew up in, and currently lives in, a country where the term "terrorism/terrorist" is used in SO many contexts -
unfortunately, "terrorist" has become a new witch-hunt word - equal in power (or a VERY close second to "pedo")
i think it is time that we ALL start identifying ourselves as terrorists.. because close to every political statement we make - including "seriously.. can you imagine life with THAT guy in office" while standing at the water cooler - can be construed as terrorism..
this is one of the reasons that the UN has yet to define terrorism.. because if they were to do so, many - in fact, most - governments would fall under the "terrorist" definition.
my advice; call, email, write a letter, send a pigeon to senator leiberman (and any others supporting this bill and tell them "you are not with us. you are not with the terrorists. you ARE a terrorist".. maybe they will get the clue
