The Patriot Act and Traveling Kids

Dear Reader(s),

On Sept. 11th, 2001 the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon were hit by 3 separate planes. Ofcourse it was a great attack on this country and threw us all into panic(I at the time thought it was a joke). Soon to come after the attack was the dreaded Patriot Act. It proposed several things such as racism on planes, tapping your phone, and the works. Though it was said to be used as a "tool on the war on terrorism" it hasnt actually stoped another attack. However the traveling kids have suffered.

Modern day hobo's as some call them. The traveling kids. Hobos, Crusties, whatever you'd like to refer to them as have suffered a great loss. I've read and heard stories of kids being pulled of trains and being placed in jail for several weeks. Now not all of the Bull (Rail Road Pigs) are bad but they are few. The Patriot Act gives the Bull a sense of false of athority. They've beaten and arrest many of the traveling kids.

Finnal summory. WHAT MAKES PEOPLE THINK A 17 YEAR OLD KID IS GUNNA BLOW UP A FRIEGHT TRAIN! Lets have a little commen sense here. There is absolutely no threat to national security for a kid sleeping on a train. They respect them because its there mode of transportation. Whatever happened to the American hobo of the 40's and 50's. Is this country so screwed up that we can't even trust our own American born citizens. So i leave you with a quote.
