Well, I'll jump in here. Can you please point out the parts of the Patriot Bill that actually have anything to do with fighting terrorism? Most of what I have seen has more to do with furthering the war on drugs, and I dislike that Ashcroft exploited the events of 9/11 to request powers that have nothing to do with preventing another occurrence.

I think OWK is cognizant enough to realize that wartime historically has altered some liberties - but those alterations should serve a specific war purpose and not a general expansion of federal powers.

The subject at hand appears to be your desire to draw attention to yourself.
