Re: If there's one thing you can count on, it's that the government will abuse its power over time This is generally true, and as such I would not be averse at all to checks and balances in this regard. Re: School vouchers would be a hard sell with their teacher constinuecies though. Precisely. They will need to make some difficult choices if they are to win elections IMO.

>They just reauthorized the PATRIOT Act permantly, only revisiting two controversal aspects in ten years time. That is hardly a program of vigillence against government abuse of power. If there's one thing you can count on, it's that the government will abuse its power over time. We need far more checks and balances on the PATRIOT Act, as it essentially nullifies important parts of our Constitution like the 4th Ammmendment and changes the basic civil liberties that have governed our society since our founding. I think that's what happens if u hav a PHD from a Crack bible college. It's like your logic is somehow shifted and the crank shaft is jacked. neurons fire spontaneously in ever increasing heightened awareness of the depolarizing low threshold fabricated reality. It's like the big picture doesn't make sense. u drink more kool aid. But hey. Keep lying because it's all u know how to do. U sold your soul and there's no going back.....
