Thanks Dio. Unfortunately many freepers, even longtime ones that should know better, will discard your words in the name of "pulling together". You are also correct that if it was Klinton making these speeches and implementing these Orwellian "Homeland defense" agencies, this forum would be hopping with outrage.

FR has become an encampment for sheep and I'm amazed at seeing some of the people that I'd previously respected falling for this sham. This is surreal.

FR has become an encampment for sheep

I don't think so. Many still call them as they see them. To do anything else would not be any fun at all. You should try to gain a bit more respect for the intellectual honesty of those with whom you disagree. If nothing else, it adds a bit of civility to the public square.

You seem to ignore reality. The reality is THIS IS WAR. I've got a news flash for you too - Clinton isn't President, so what he would or wouldn't do and what we would or wouldn't do in response means absolutely nothing. Boy, that's so nice to type. I'm going to repeat it a little differently this time...CLINTON IS HISTORY.

"FR has become an encampment for sheep and I'm amazed at seeing some of the people that I'd previously respected falling for this sham. This is surreal."

You want surreal, consider the potential of introducting a biological vector into the nation's wheat belt. Mad cow, hoof and mouth. A checmial agent into a major water supply. How about Small Pox introducted into the air filtration system of a major airport...how quickly would that spread across the nation.

And you are crying that the threat of the government tapping into your e-mail is more serious then the potential harm such attacks would cause our nation? Don't you think it's about time your turned loose of your prejudicies against the government and woke up to the reality of the war.
