Nice to know the equivalent of my total federal tax bill for several decades was TOTALLY BLEEPING WASTED on crap like this.

This is government run amok and the Bush administration and Republican congress have to look in a mirror and decide if this is the best way to fight a very real War on Terror.

The odds of me voting Republican in the next election are diminishing by the day.

If you saw how much various technology companies were lobbying for the government to push all kinds of high-tech solutions to low-tech problems, it would blow your mind (although it would blow your mind even more to know how various members of Congress respond to these lobbyists, let's just say it's with open arms).

You and me both, although it's not just the direction this country is headed, but a lot of other non-Conservative actions that the GOP is embracing.

In the old days, if you told a Republican "we are going to put up cameras all over the place and watch everybody and everything", the response would have been "the hell you are! We just finished a war against a surveillance-oriented country, Nazi Germany, and now we are fighting a Cold War against the ultimate surveillance-oriented country, the Soviet Union".

Now it's like "okay, whatever the government needs to do to protect us".
