Assignment due 9/20

One of the questions on the paper was, 'Are you an anarchist?' To which a detached philosopher would naturally feel inclined to answer, 'What the devil has that to do with you? Are you an atheist?' along with some playful efforts to cross-examine the official about what constitutes an ἁρχη [Greek: archê]. Then there was the question, 'Are you in favour of subverting the government of the United States by force?

      The meaning of this passage is that once you get to an airport they officer start asking questions that make people feel like outcast. Just because the race they are or what country they came from they think they come to America to do harm.
     I chose this passage because I agree with what is said. I find that the questions that are ask when you come back from another country are unnecessary questions. Yes I understand that is for our safety but if someone is going to do harm to America they will know how to. For example 9/11. So now because of what those man did, their race of people are automatically stamped as if they are coming to america to do harm.
