Not So Nifty
Grrrroowwwlllll...
This kind of crap is why I wish the U.S. had a decent libertarian party, instead of The Immoral Mobsters vs. The Reactionary Police State.
And don't tell me it's some kind of "Bush vs. Gore" nonsense, because a Gore administration would be doing exactly this same crap right now. It's all about control; whether the tyrants on the left or the tyrants on the right have it, they both agree on that one aspect.
There are two phrases I keep remembering as things progress in this country. I don't know who said them, but whoever it was knew what they were talking about:
Those who give up liberty for security, end up with neither.
...and...
The last act of any democracy will be to elect a dictator.
Sigh.

I was a library assistant and spent a good part of my JR year blacking out names from the checkout cards in the books, was interesting at times..I did the WHOLE biography section *small school* and since the HS I graduated from was the same one as both my parents and there family I'd find books THEY checked ou
Re: yah know
Besides, I have had no valid library card for decades, and am a high school drop out. So, by this approach, I am completely uneducated. I would readily admit that I am not qualified to be a beauty queen. ;)
I am not much in favor of providing a cushy existence to Taliban combat captives in our custody. The United States arguably does not owe them even the provisions of the Geneva Convention regarding prisoners of war, but we should do this anyway because of who and what we are, which is NOT the Weimar Republic.
