Sorry about that, let's include the pertinent quote from your post#12....
"Right now terrorists are a real threat and it is necessary for government to adjust accordingly."
My response:
"In 1898, the Spanish-American War was created to prove our might. In the process an excise fee was created to pay for the cost. We are still paying for that fee 104 years later. Are you saying that anything the government does during a time of war is correct? If so, then that justifies the slaughter of millions of civilians by the Nazis according to your logic."

I still have no clue as to how that is supposed to relate.

Maybe if I explain that my original response was written for a different debate, the often repeated quote about how those who would give up liberty for security deserve neither. I expected someone to offer that again on this thread and I posted my response without waiting to offer it in reply to a specific post. It expresses no approval of this specific proposal.
