The PAITRIOT act, yes, America's weapon against Terrorism. But if it was really a weapon, what would it be, I wonder?

Personally, I think it's the Brass Knuckles becuase the gloves kinda came off following 9/11, so to speak.

While we're on the subject, I'm kinda split over the Paitriot Act: Part of me loves it, part of me hates it.

The Part that Loves it Argues that it is fighting terrorism the way it should be fought:
No holds barred, no mercy, AND NO CHANCES!!! It also slaps some sense into the people and shouts "GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!!!"

The Part that Hates it Argues that it treats the Constitution as just an insignificant piece of paper: People have gone to jail just for being afraid. Being afraid is natural human behaviour. Would you arrest someone for passing gas? No.

The poison I understand: it's dangerous to both parties.

You lost me on the Sledge.

... not a street melee weapon though, but sniper rifle with no scope comes to mind.

I dunno, Whackmiester, some people lay some really toxic ones. It could be classified as a biological weapon.

The thing about the Act is it's not one weapon, it's an arsenal. It changes many things on many levels and in many ways.
