Drones so have killed an estimated 4700 people!! Wow, people are going to have to start keeping one eye in the sky. Where does it stop? What are the boundaries? I'm a patriot, I love my country and I think we should do almost anything to protect it. With this is mind, what's up with a drone strike taking out a US citizen? No trial, no nothing. With this kind of action I really have to think, what country do I love and why? Martin Luther King said in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail: "We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."
I kind of have to wonder, where is my line in the sand? Where is America's line in the sand for which we will have no choice to act against the laws that are taking away our America, the America of our fathers? That being noted, when the line is crossed what is acceptable action? Or am I just some "passive good person" waiting for repentance (according to MLK). I'm going to make a point to look inside of myself, to not avoid the zone of comfortableness that comes with self-acknowledgment of the not so pretty side of oneself. Maybe you should too and if you choose to not do this, maybe it’s because you already don’t like what you see. You PASSIVE GOOD PERSON you.
