The White Van

Another year has past and quite honestly I can't remember a more partisan, scandal filled year than this one. Living in New York City, it's pretty apparent that all we have been able to hold true-and-dear.

Just yesterday the entire city goes on lock-down because some guy left his van parked in Times Square for two straight days and in his world of heightened security that can only mean the bomb-sniffing dogs and bomb barricades were immediately dispensed. Of course they find the van full of clothes and assorted crap but with millions of people about to descent upon NYC and Times Square in particular to watch a huge ball move slowly down a big pipe you can't take any chances. What I question is why are we still allowing white vans near any part of civilized society?

Wasn't this what the DC snipers were supposedly driving in?
Weren't these the types that the FBI warned could be used to carry bombs into NYC so they were routinely being stopped before crossing bridges and tunnels after 9/11?
Aren't these the kinds of vehicles people sell speakers out of?
Aren't these exactly the kind of vehicles which cut you off on the highway with no regards at all for anybody's safety because the entire thing is a driving blind spot?

It's come to the point that I despise white vans like other people despise white people
Forget racial profiling, I'm all for van profiling,
