I understand your point. I even respect it. It is just that we are not looking at the full picture here. We already have examples of the government taking one Bill that was intended for something totally unrelated to what it is eventually used for.
The FBI has already issued a list of Terrorist Characteristics to the police. These characteristics are so broad that ANYONE could fit it. (they are covering all bases see?)
It IS just a matter of time before the Orwellian Patriot Bill is used against us. By then, it will be too late.
There are many, many Socialists on this site who will try to attack me because they don't like the message. Many of these people have admitted that they work for, or have worked for the Feds. DO NOT TRUST THEM! Their livelyhood depends on the ever-broadening reach of their god, government. They will sell you for a few gold coins. Mark my words. The constitution does not say what it says unless it has the approval of government, in their minds.
