Poor exodus. Are your wrists chafed and bleeding from the irons you must drag about your cell each day? What abject hell you live in. No light, no happiness, . . .

We used to live in a free society. That freedom will soon be a thing of the past. The Patriot Act marks the official end of government recognition of our rights. If our government does not honor our rights, by definition we do not live in a free society.

**********************

The main thing that sets our society apart from every other society on Earth is our unique definition of freedom.

All over the world, "freedom" means only that you're not in jail.

Only in America do we believe that freedom means that our rights are not violated by our government, and that we have an almost complete license to act on those rights, without fear of reprisal.

I thank you, with sadness, for proving my point, Kevin Curry.

Our definition of freedom now corresponds with the world's definition.
