Hey, I seem to have found a position that offends everyone. Wanna join? :-)

Why shore! Count me in!! <GGG>

I think we're on the same page on the LE "investigations." Whatever's the easiest that provides enough evidence is a likely methodology. Finding a guilty person is less important than finding someone to prosecute.

I know a bit about the history of Hitler's rise to power, and can't imagine (doh!) it happening here. For one American to be able to get the allegiance of the military and different police forces to that extent, is just beyond my ken. I also can't imagine any one person being able to bring our "stir fry" demographics together under one uniting principle like Hitler did. Short of actual armed invasion, that is.

But, back to the original point, just call me paranoid. I don't like huge amounts of information about me being collated for easy access by bureaucrats. Just because I've done nothing wrong doesn't mean I won't be accused of something or singled out when I don't want to be singled out. I really don't think such databases make us any safer, but they sure give more intrusive powers to the government.
