go into WalMart or CVS and get a pre-paid visa card - you MUST activate it with your SSN. Reason? Patriot Act. No purpose whatsoever. We lost privacy, and terrorists like Atta picked up envelopes of cash around Florida anyway. It should be repealed.

In short, as my father puts it, "the terrorists have won."

In short, as my father puts it, "the terrorists have won."

The terrorists have indeed won. Multi-agency anal probes of every American, high-tech software surveilance of every Facebook, Twitter and FreeRepublic post, SSNs and Federal reporting required for opening bank accounts and prepaid debit cards, cameras everywhere and soon drones will fill the skies. All from the disgusting, un-American USA-PATRIOT Act. And we haven't caught a single terrorist with it. Why can't we just repeal it?
