This pic is partially based on an old Spanish political cartoon I I saw in Gabriel Jackson's book on the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39, and is also kinda a personal nightmare of mine-to be snatched off the street against my will at gun-point by a stranger who doesn't have my best interests at heart.While the pic's hapless protagonist is African-American and I'm European-American, ultimately the fear is similar, that of disappearance, imprisonment, torture and death at the hands of people who, because of their positions, are unaccountable for their deeds. For those who think it can't happen here, think again, especially in light of the Patriot Act and Patriot Act II.
