Sacramento -- Gov. Gray Davis wants to give state and local police broad new powers to obtain wiretaps and monitor e-mail, a proposal likely to inflame civil libertarians and set up a showdown with members of his own party in the Legislature.

Is there something in the water?

I turned out OK. Could be something that they're smoking.

Seigheil mein Meister, den wir befolgen und der Polizeizustand Ihres Kommunisten zu werden träumt

Translation:Seig heil my master we will obey and become the police state of your communist dreams

You don't understand. Ashcroft is a Republican. That makes it OK for him to do it.

Oh, yeah, okay. I was a Republican for awhile there myself.

LOL-- that's always been true for petty dictators hasn't it!

I would asume with the above statement you would include.... Bush/Ashcroft, as you love your right to privacy yes?

I've been in the Lala area almost ten years, and haven't succumbed to such a metamorphosis. Maybe they did smoke something strange..

Are you trying to say that there is moral equivalency between Davis and Bush/Ashcroft?

See post #10 also!
