Driving
to work this morning, I listened to Diane Rehm on NPR. Some guests were contrasting
the "terrorism" committed in Boston with the "industrial accident" in
West, Texas.
I'm sorry, but the explosion in West, which killed 14 people and injured a couple of hundred, is an example of
state-sponsored terrorism against the American people. This is the terrorism of the capitalist mode of production, aided and abetted
by sociopaths in government who don't believe in regulating potentially dangerous
industries or in safe zoning laws to ensure that people aren't living
and working in harm's way of these facilities.
We are in far more danger from this type of home-grown, structurally pervasive terrorism than we are from any Islamic jihadists.
