The climate we live in...

If you haven't seen Good Night and Good Luck, go see it.

The fact that it is nominated for an Oscar will probably mean it becomes available in the theater again.

Reading through this article as well as a few others TODAY about how we are dealing with immigration makes my stomach turn. Maybe if you read one article every three weeks, you could say, these are just dramatic cases that fall outside the ordinary. Instead there are two or three articles a day to deal with the climate of fear and intimidation in which we are living.

When you have only known one country, perhaps you can make excuses for the idiosyncratic flaws you find there. But, I have had the fortune of living in several countries for extended periods of time. No country is perfect; and certainly I have seen many other people treat immigrants unfairly. But this is my country, the country of immigrants, and it is beyond against everything we stand for to make those who wash up on our shores into terrorists and enemies.

This is, of course, without comment to the second grader who was strip searched. What kind of excuses will the flag wavers come up with to explain that one?
