ok PD... i am just saying (again) that i beleive in the system. i believe in how it works. i believe in the 250,000,000 people that make it work. i dont necessarily believe in Bush, Ashcroft, Gore, Clinton or Republicans or Democrats.
"the fear that the decrease in personal privacy - the granting of more intrusive powers to the government"
-PD
i am saying that the "fear" is ALWAYS scarier than the reality. I dont have any "fears" about anything. I dont worry that the government is "intrusive" and i am not "afraid"
you believe in the end of the world, that things have never been worse and that the government is some out of control monster that has turned against you because republicans are trying to suck your soul from your body.
i happen to dissagree, thats all. something tells me that you may not have been jumping up and down screaming that the government is trying to suck your will to live when Clinton originally proposed the Patriot act.
i am not sure what Saddam Hussein has to do with an arguement about "intrusive government"... but if it adds a little color to your arguement....
