Son, we live in a world that has Muslim kids, and those Muslim kids (and their parents and maybe their friends and their friends' parents) have to be watched by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant chrysberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for 14 year old Muslims and you curse the morons who cuffed him. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that this kid's science project, while tragic to look at, probably scared teachers. And the protocol that blew this bomb hoax up, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves time!
We don't want the truth, because deep down in places we don't talk about at parties, we want them against the wall. We need them against that wall. We use words like "Western values", "terrorism", and "recess". We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending ourselves against threats, real and imaginary. You use a dictionary. I have neither the time nor the inclination to defend the indefensible without a press conference to people who rose and slept under the blanket of the very freedom I'm willing to trade for the appearance of vigilance and then question the method in which I dismantle it! I would rather you just said "thank you", or something that sounds like thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you hire a lawyer and file a brief. Either way, I'm going to turn this into something about entitlements!...and maybe the President.lain:
