Bush's Legacy

It is just as I suspected.

President Bush's war has dehumanized Americans.

There are times when reading a story makes the heart cry. The arrest of 75-year-old Arthur Schick is one of those stories.

One cries for the plight of the elderly man who faced "terrorists" right here in America last night. These terrorists hid behind the guise of police uniforms and perpetrated nothing more than what Bush has be advocating all along: mindless, unwarranted violence.

This is a 75-year-old grampa, folks. He deserves respect.

What he does not deserve is to be pushed and shoved by police, his arms wrestled into a hand-lock behind his back, and his body thrown so violently into the police van that he falls. In their efforts to manhandle this elderly grampa into the van, the officers physically grapple-attacked him again.

What is wrong with America that we have moved from the position of a semi-civilized country to the position of that of an animal?

Only animals would attack a 75-year-old grampa because he was talking on a cell phone!
