I wonder how many people are reacting emotionally to the Patriot act thinking it would allow authorities to come in their house and take their marijuana stash?

Isn't that so true...My first reaction was NOT one of fear against my government, but against the ENEMY of my Government.

This is to all those knee-jerk, reactionary, "my freedom before your safety", libertarians: If you think you are not being monitored by camera right now, or having your financial or medical records examined, already...you are fooling yourself.

I smile and wave at the cameras at each intersection on my way home. They're everywhere!

Another one for whom freedom is just a throwaway word. There are plenty of other countries to choose from that share your philosophy on freedom and "safety". I don't know why you guys insist on infesting this one.
