Natural Selection (Is it something in the water?)

Recently I read about a poll, which I believe was from Gallup, that asked if the president can target US citizens for assassination without due process on US soil. Seventy-eight percent of the respondents (all Americans) said, “Sure it’s fine with me if the president wants to murder me with a drone.”
How nice to have nearly 8 out of 10 Americans be so altruistic, apparently believing that the president must have some valuable reason to murder them, so it’s okay with them to sacrifice their lives in the name of protection against terrorists, or something, I guess. It’s so noble for so many Americans to valiantly offer up their lives as martyrs to the president if their deaths will keep them safer, or something, I guess (72 virgins?).
After all, the question was not “Can the president target US citizens for assassination without due process on US soil, except for you?” No, it was a blanket killing request by the president to kill any American, including you. These polls are supposed to be representative samples of Americans. If that’s really true, out of every ten people you see, eight are blissfully awaiting the president to bless them with a drone attack.

Ten days after Hurricane Katrina I found an entry point from Jefferson Parish on North River Road into New Orleans. (Neighboring Jefferson Parish had blocked all of the exits from New Orleans into Jefferson, not wanting New Orleans residents in their parish.) The entry point was manned by the National Guard. I was told by the guard on duty that she though couldn’t stop me from entering, I couldn’t exit from where I entered, and once in new Orleans I could be arrested and put into the Superdome. When I asked another guard why so much drama, he didn’t know. He told me the National Guard was Uncle Sam’s mushroom crop, kept in the dark and fed a lot of shit (his exact words).
