"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

-Ben Franklin

That is all I have to say to the Patriot Act.

Yes, but explain how the Patriot Act takes away liberty. (Not that I disagree with the statement necessarily, I just like clarification)

i NEED to do more research, honestly. that was based on my semi uneducated opinion. I kept trying to come up with another uneducated argument back.. let me just say that.. if they can screen calls coming in and out of the country, who's to say they arent "looking for terrorists" within the united states. Bush can say that they are ONLY screening incoming calls from suspected terrorists, but how do we really know

Hahahahaha, I didn't mean to come off so attackish. I just don't like it when there's a lack of clarification concerning politics because it causes misconceptions yadda yadda yadda. I have to agree with your entire last paragraph. I think tolerance is the way to the impossible- peace in the world. And not alcohol tolerance gosh :).
