I'm One. So Are You.


Britain passed a law delineating statements which glorify terrorists as criteria for listing as same. The US terrorist list has grown to over 325,000. Stating that London and 9/11 were deserved response to histories of colonialism and aggression might cause inclusion. I said it. Count me in!

Not content with taking land and life, Zatikia's post below tells how Usukers now consider the internet itself as enemy to be conquered. You are here. You are a terrorist too!

A differing definition of terrorist, one to which I lean, and that acknowledged through much of the world, might be no more than having Usuk citizenship. Given such view, my terrorist list could be compiled by census count. The CIA gives populations of the US and UK as 295,734,134 and 50,441,457 respectively. Those add to 346,175,591 Usuker terrorists.

Ha! My list is a thousand times bigger than theirs. I win! And, I believe there is more truth to that than not.

If it weren't for destruction, death, and ruined lives brought by machinations of the list makers, the short sighted arrogance behind their attempts born of dreams concocted from yesterday's world would be considered silly and laughable. What they don't seem to have completely grasped is the full implication of very recent, profound, and unescapable changes that have effected all societies. Advances in transportation and communication have altered the slant of fields of action between old perpetrators of misery and previously yearning victims who now rise to read the rules of conquest backwards.

Technological shrinkage allows Usukers to rapidly send death dealing bombs, boats, bullies, and bullshit anywhere. No matter the speed or target, it also creates today an appropriate reception which might be properly accompanied with the blues line "You better treat me right or let me be, 'cause I can beat you doing what you're doing to me".
