LOL
I see...you can “LOL” at someone else’s point of view, but yours is sacrosanct...
It is but to laugh...you’re tripping all over yourself to justify these activities, all in the name of security.
Speaking of that...a quote by Ben Franklin comes to mind...
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
*shakes head* Thank you for reminding Free Republic how lightly you take the idea of liberty, so lightly that you are willing to laugh at the warnings of history.
