There are limits to "freedom". For instance, you can't just go out into the street and kill your next door neighbor. You can't molest children. You can't go over the speed limit. Fortunately, for you, one has the freedom to be naive.

Our leaders are no better than the brutal, corrupt dictators of the world? How about the leaders of North Korea? Our leaders are no better than them? They are staving their people to death. How about Castro? I'll bet that you love the Prison Camp Commandant Fidel Castro. He enslaves his own people regardless of the laws of Cuba.

I agree with that, especially as it applies to you. <g>

Exactly!!! That is why we have the Patriot Act. Eternal Vigilance! Without the Patriot Act we don't have Eternal Vigilance. Thanks for making our point!
