I tink we'd all agree Jeri.....The "Patriot Act" is all too frightening and we have relinquished 200 years of hard fought civil rights. It's too easy to believe that everyone will act with good judgement when using their newfound powers, but the lessons of history and the ease with which power can now be abused is simply an unspeakable horror. The same could have been accomplished without sacrifice of liberties.
