Ok here's what you and the rest of the hand wringers here do about the Patriot Act and any other government intelligence measures that bother you.Instead of telling me,call your Congressman and Senators and ask them to vote against the Patriot Act the next time it comes up for renewal.Another possible solution is if the Democraps win big in November they will probably put an end to a number of the current intelligence measures being used,so go vote Democrap.However as I've stated 500 times before I believe the war on terror requires intelligence measures that in other times in history wouldn't be necessary.We've got an open society who no longer even bothers to try and control who's comming into the country or what they're doing.How you going to deal with that fact if you don't use intelligence? Please don't try and tell me the government's going to round them up and get em out of here either because there's not a chance in hell that's going to happen.For the time being I'm ok with these measures because I believe they're keeping me and my family a little safer,but if any abuse comes to the surface I'll be the first one to yell loud and clear !!!

By the time the abuses surface and slap you in the face, well... it's WAY too late.
