A nation of fear and paranoia.

Boing Boing: Brown-skinned poetry prof sets out box of trash, ROTC student phones in terrorism alert:
"A Shippenberg University ROTC student phoned in a terrorism alert because he saw a brown-skinned poetry professor putting a box of recycling out. The kid assumed that because the man was middle-eastern, he must be a terrorist planting a bomb. The prof was getting rid of rejected manuscripts from a poetry contest he'd been judging."
