Did you know that a car dealer can't sell you any car until you've been cleared as someone not on the terror lists?

The Patriot Act is harassing the populace, while the police are saying, "have a nice day" to suspicious persons.

The primary job of a sheepdog is to keep the sheep in line, not protect them from wolves.

Never forget that fact.

“The Patriot Act is harassing the populace, while the police are saying, “have a nice day” to suspicious persons.”

I couldn’t open up a CD with on online bank last month because my address didn’t match what the credit bureaus had on record. The street address and zip code were the same, but we were recently advised to use our township instead of the city down the road corresponding to the zip code. That’s what I did, and I was rejected. And the bank said I couldn’t edit it once it was submitted.

I simply chose another bank, and submitted the address they wanted to see. It was approved.

I wonder if that is the same list as the one the airlines were using which contained a lot of common names.

Hmmm. I bought a car not all that long ago and the dealer did not submit my name to any agency to determine if I was on any terror watch list. Perhaps this is not being done everywhere?

It's always easiest to impose laws on the lawbiding. Doesn't "do" anything, but it gives the illusion something is happening.
