WITH A WHISPER, NOT A BANG (Patriot Act II signed by President on December 13, 2003)

[Lower55]

Bush only signed the piece of crap legislation.

I guess it's all in perspective. Some people see a toilet as a good thing. Inside plumbing.

Some only see the crap.

I think it's all in perspective.

Is 55 the size of your jackboots?

[flashbunny]

"...calling everything short of Mom and Pop's Donut Shop a "financial institution.""

hey, they could be considered a financial institution...they handle a lot of dough!!!!

[Lower55]

Is 55 the size of your jackboots?

No, but a good question.

[GluteusMax]

Yeah, it's a "big deal" if you happen to have a desire to protect your wealth.
LOL!!! Where on earth did that come from?

Perhaps you don't care if our governments stated goal is to devalue our currency vs. the Euro by up to 30%

I think that sucks, therefore I am buying other assets that will lock in at today's rate that the dollar is worth.

Of course, now, theoretically each of these businesses will have to keep a record of my transactions, for anything over $2500, unless of course that number has been lowered again.

So "LOL" all you like.

Anything that leaves a record could lead to confiscation. It's happened several times in our nations short history already.

[Lower55]

Paranoid much?

[LPM1888]

You kissed the boots of the FLoriDUH legal system not too long ago.

No I supported freedom. You supported a governor who wanted to interject himself into a families personal problems.

[HiTech RedNeck]

FDR and the ownership of gold?

[GluteusMax]

Paranoid much?

Call it what you like.

This country was founded on the premise that too much government is bad.

You apparently would have been of the Tory persuasion.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I supported overhauling the whole blasted system. So that a "freedom" to be killed is not wished on someone who did not execute a legal instrument in pursuance thereto. You deliberately twist my position.

[Pro-Bush]

he-he

[HiTech RedNeck]

Oh, and YOU kissed their boots which had marched up to the point where such a "freedom" can be wished on such an insubstantial basis.

[LPM1888]

Either way I lose my Rights.

[HiTech RedNeck]

But you keep that precious Right to be Killed.

[HiTech RedNeck]

(Even if you never asked for it. All that has to happen is someone tell a halfway sincere sounding story about what you said in passing.)

[Lower55]

This country was founded on the premise that too much government is bad.

Actually I agree with this completely. But, sometimes there are things one can control, and things one can't control.

If enough people get fed up, there may be changes. I just don't see it happening when almost half of the population is living off the stolen wealth of the other half.

[LPM1888]

I supported overhauling the whole blasted system. So that a "freedom" to be killed is not wished on someone who did not execute a legal instrument in pursuance thereto. You deliberately twist my position.

Let's not go into it here. We will have plenty of opportunities in another time and place.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The reason you don't want to go into it here is because you were WRONG.

[HiTech RedNeck]

You may recall, by the way, that you took the position that unless the person had with sufficient vigor prosecuted before their incapacitation their wish not to be killed, that the right to be killed would be the default. And you called that freedom. Like Satan calls it freedom.

[LPM1888]

Try to act like an adult and take the hint.
