What a smartass reply. Are you so sure you can protect your family? I have plenty of weapons but I still realize that I can't protect my family 100%. I have to go to work. I have to go to sleep. Principled is right. We should deport all people of middle eastern origin. They have no business being here. They are the enemy. While you are worried about your fictional "big brother" the terrorist are for real and they would love to kill us all.

Are you so sure that my fictional "big brother" is indeed a fiction? Something I just made up to antagonize folks like you?

Can you deny that the United Nations exists? Do you deny the inherently evil nature of Mankind? Do you deny that lots of people are becoming very wealthy as a result of all this?

Yes, the terrorists are real, but they are pawns in a bigger game. Surrendering our rights for the perception of safety from terror is a colossal mistake.

None of us can be 100% safe, 100% of the time. That's the risk of living in a free and open society. We can maximize our level of safety by being responsible, not only for ourselves, by watching out for the well being of our neighbors, too. If we permit the government to exercize all the powers it desires, then it's just a matter of time before the liberals, socialists, fascists and communists, will be on here, advocating that "we" be profiled as terrorists.
