MagiK, if we shouldn't fear losing our rights, then why ever end up in a war where we'll have bullets heading for us? If we don't mind losing our rights we might as well not defend ourselves and just let everyone conquer us.
And people SHOULD get carried away if this happens. They should get carried unto the streets to protest. |

Who said I was panicking? Would you have felt better if I had said "This concerns me more then the terrorists"? It seems you are more interested in arguing semantics then discussing the merits of turning the meter reader and the cable repair guy into spies that can perform warrant-less searches on a daily basis.

To me it sounds more and more that the good people of America are desperately in need of a leader who can think straight and not like a headless chicken. It's starting to look like Romania in the days of Ceaucescu, scary thought.

Or maybe you might actually read what Im saying and quit loading it up with your own fears? Please...look at what I wrote and read what words are actually there....and note which are NOT there. For being all worried about our rights as citizens there are some here who might want to examine how quickly they stomp on others trights. [ 07-18-2002, 12:45 PM: Message edited by: MagiK ] |

I am in agreement with both Neb and MagiK on this:
1)There is no better feeling in the world than having a bullet miss you. Fear has it's place as a motivating factor for survival, but it can also be a paralyzing force that either stops action or causes you to waste energy on unimportant things. 2) Every American citizen should be deeply concerned that any branch of our government would suggest a program so fundamentally anti-constitutional. An ethically questionable group has been given power at a time when a serious breach of freedom is at least marginally arguable, and it is up to us, as citizens, to maintain the control over our government that we have an intrinsic right and responsibility to wield. |

Also, you said those things. I merely added them in for comical effect, perhaps you should read between the lines a bit? And if you'll note, I'm not telling you to "shut up" or "silence yourself" even though I have the undying desire to right now, because I do respect your rights. Perhaps you shouldn't assume so much out of me, eh? And on a sidenote, if you had insulted my manhood I really wouldn't have given half a whit in caring. Being macho has no desire to me, and if someone calls me gay I'm quick to back it up by acting that way just to put them off guard. So, good luck provoking me, and have a nice day. |
