[OPE] Harry Reid: afraid of the American people?

"Pressed to explain if that meant [ Guantánamo prisoners] could not be
transferred to American prisons, Mr. Reid said: "We don't want is them to be
put in prisons in the United States. We don't want them around the United
States." http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/20/us/politics/20detain.html?_r=1&hp

Comes across like, "these people are like a bad smell, we don't want them
inside... Never mind the meaning of these people, we want to kill what they
mean."

Does Mr Harry Reid, who's in favour of democracy, really know, what people
mean?

Can we trust the the masses of the people, to sort out the people for what
they really are, or what?

If not, what is this thing called democracy? If we cannot trust the masses
of the people to sort people out, who can we trust?

If I am afraid of my enemy, I have done him the best service he could wish
for.

Were on a road to nowhere
Come on inside!
Takin that ride to nowhere,
We'll take that ride!
I'm feelin okay this evenin'
And you know,
We're on the road to paradize
Here we go, here we go
Maybe you wonder where you are?
I don't care :-)
Here is where...
Time is on our side!
Take you there...take you there!
