Martin - you try to ruin every thread your selfish little narrow minded personality doesn't understand, and many that you fear will led to a free and educational discussion of concepts that you wish to supress, mainly due to fear of loss of your childish desire for 'control' of the world.

I am now convinced that you are a Bush plant (heh heh!) trying to suppress and intimidate those not 'toeing the party line'. You are the reincarnation of Joe McCarthy.

Cue the MG abusive profanity track...

(You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch!)

The Patriot Act ran to about 700 pages, and was given to Congress only a few hours before the vote was called, so most of our representatives had only the slightest idea of what was in it. I understand from a Congressional Representative of my acquaintance that one of the reasons that a 700 page bill got submitted so quickly was that it was merely a rehash of the infamous, McCarran Act, of 1951, which gave Sen. Joe McCarthy his power and authority. Most of it is the same wording, with "communist" crossed out and "terrorist" inserted.

The Patriot Act isunconstitutional. It is a manifesto for totalitarianism.

Outrage is building.

My niece formerly from Kodiak Alaska and now the Hawaian Islands wrote an angry letter to the TSA. She found a note saying that her bag had been searched before it was put onboard her plane. In her bag were sealed tax documents and private mail - all of which had been torn open. SS numbers and everything else could now very well be databased beyond her control.

I said hurray for you. Every complaint or phone call can be be interpolated as 1,000 letters or phone calls of similar opinion.
Everyone has to take their own respondsibility to obeject and dissent.

My wife warned that they can arrest arrest you for nothing nowadays and to be careful what you say if you do complain.

I say forget the fear factor. No one really has civil rights until they can be addressed in court anyway.

Please Martin. The folks here are trying to have an adult conversation. You just wouldn't fit in. Run along and be a good little boy.

Well, who's the fine lawyer who's going to get rid of it. And how much does he charge per hour?

Speaking as someone who greatly values and is grateful for the Constitution of the United States, who is dedicated to protecting and defending it (the Constition), who believes that the Constution is the most "American" thing about America and is what makes us a nation, and who is in agreement with the Supreme Court of the United States that the "Patriot Act" is unconstitutional, I thank you for providing that link, Richard Bridge.
