I also want nothing to do with vigilantism so that rules out the so-called minuteman project. I'm not going to make a big deal out of it, I'll simply continue revoking the posting privileges of those who post from these sites or attempt to promote vigilantism on FR.

"It is a call to be vigilant -- to know that your government is on high alert, and to add your eyes and ears to our efforts to find and stop those who want to do us harm." - President George W. Bush, November 2001

It was President Bush himself who, after the 9/11 attacks, asked all Americans to be "vigilant" and aware and to watch for and report suspicious activity to the proper authority. This is what the Minuteman Project, from what I understand, plans to do. They're going to be vigilant, watch some areas around the border, and report suspicious activity. They're also going to make a political point about our lack of border security while they're doing it - a FReep, as it were. They're not hunting illegals, they don't plan to apprehend illegals, they're just doing what the President asked all of us to do in response to the 9/11 attacks and they're doing it where there's more suspicious activity than you can imagine.

Is it me, or are those crickets really loud following this post?
