"...Let me try to give you an example for comparison.
Let us say we were discussing the right of a parent to discipline their child without government interference. Let us say my position was that the parents should be allowed to discipline the child. And then you ask well, what if they tie the child up and torture the child and then they kill the child and then they bury the child in the backyard...is that okay? Do you still believe parents can discipline the child? Obviously torture and murder are not within the realm of discipline considered appropriate by most parents. Your example is just as extreme. There is NOTHING in the Patriot Act about going into your house and doing ANYTHING so your example does not apply in this discussion.

What?!
What possible relevance does an example of punishing a child
have in a discussion of the relationship
between the 4th Amendment and the un-Constitutional "Patriot Act?"
Is it possible that there is a place for parables in this discussion?
