Ah, to be young and trusting again!

Post 9-11 it seems ALL of our rights are merely formalities, subject to suspension at the whim of Gov. Org. and "Law Enforcement".

I have seen too many examples of "precedent" being ignored to have any faith in this tech not being abused daily.

What a brave new world the next generation will have to endure, and the really sad part is that will not even realize what has been lost.

LOL....I'm not young, but God Bless you for suggesting that I am.....and I don't trust. Please see my post number 54......

"The price of LIBERTY is ETERNAL vigilance."

We simply have precedent on our side.....that's all.

And we act surprised when a study comes out that the majority of high school seniors believe that newspaper stories should have to be approved by the government before publication.
