I am really sorry if I misinterpretted you - I certainly don't want to accuse anyone of desiring such a thing if it is not what they meant.
I do believe, however, that many, myself included, overreacted in the aftermath of 9/11, especially when it came to the Patriot Act (a 300+ page document that was pushed forward without so much as a debate). I don't consider opposing the broadening of government power to be a "lamb mindset" so much as a matter of conviction. In fact, I believe, quite the opposite, that the "lamb mindset" lays in people's desire to "let the government protect them" like a good shepherd. I also believe that it was this mindset that led to 9/11.
At any rate, sorry again for misinterpretting you.
What? Those terrorists lived in Florida with various ID's before hijacking those planes! I will OVERREACT every time MY life is at stake. Are YOU prepared to bow down to them and let your head get cut off????
