<<I think the core of what I am saying is that I am frightened by your statement that we need to give up some freedoms. Which ones? Why? Does a process exist whereby we might get those freedoms back if the suspension should prove to have been ineffective for gaining the expected benefit?

Be speciic. What freedoms are you afraid of losing? If you look at history, we have never had as much freedom as we have right now. Especially minorities, women, gays and freedom of expression and freedom to be who you want.

Afraid? If you want someone to be afraid of try Goldman Sachs and the other large investment banks, and oil companies. They are the ones taking our freedoms away, not government. they own our congress.

In 08 bush and congress gave the banks trillions of our money and they are making a fortune off of it. And just today the Republicans are holding up all legislation (including legislation that would move russia;s nukes pointed at us and provide inspectors on the ground) for no other reason than to give more money to the rich.

I think you are mixed up.
