I have never been a proponent of the Patriot Act. I have no intention of giving up my liberties for a little security.

What liberties have you given up? Is anything at all worth giving up for any amount of security?

Ping me if you EVER get an answer to that question.

How much liberty do you give up to be able to drive without chaos? How much do you give up to be able to have safe food and water?

We give up some liberties every day in order to survive. I do not see that the Patriot Act has undermined my life in any irresponsible way.

I certainly feel safer with it than without it.
