^^^^Exactly!!!! 1st off I really wish a few would quit fighting with people cuz they are not as super smart as some perceive themselves to be...you just think differently...cant we all just get a bong?
There have been several links, C&P's and the youtube video that clearly show how the patriot act is being used to take away the Constitutional rights of citizens...because it is not a novel thought is irrelevant to the point of argument...passive argument.
I didn't ignore it, but you haven't answered it either.
My premise is that LAW abiding citizens have nothing to fear from the Patriot Act.
I stand by that... because it's true. I mean, it's been in place now for 8 years ... where's the list of ppl crushed? There should be hundreds if not thousands of cases of oppression and yet ... all we hear are WORDS.
The WORDS don't jive with the ACTION. The WORDS are false.
So as long as you do not say anything "Bad"...or worship the "right" fable...don't protest peacefully (or otherwise)...and choose a different career path than journalism...oh yeah...who needs the 1st Amendment
As long as you do not own a gun...bye-bye 2nd
Hell I got a spare room and a yard...might as well quarter troops here!
What a horrible waste of touchy-feely liberal crap the 3rd amendment is
Hell...as long as you do not have anything to hide...being that you are a "law-abiding citizen" there is no need to slow down "justice" or risk our safety from
TERROR! by requiring a warrant to search your wife's pantie drawer...What's that...a knock on the door?
And we all know the 5th is just used to protect the guilty
I could go on...but most will get my point. One of the first things that smoking pot caused me to do was to question authority. The perspective seems to change, not as much as with LSD, but maybe 15 degrees off center...so when something is said that just does not add up, it is not swallowed with a coke and a smile.
Sometimes I wonder if CJ is a fed or if he just does not smoke?
ANY legislation (besides amendments) which changes our Constitution should be an outrage to ANY AND ALL PATRIOTS!!!!!
If the "Patriot" Act takes away CONSTITUTIONAL rights of a single citizen, it means that it CAN happen to YOU!!!! And it undoubtedly IS.
Do you really think that in these controversial threads that we all end up in, that we have not typed words that trigger the NSA computers to start logging info?
Just because something is hard to believe...I mean come on..us American kids stood and pledged allegiance ~1500 times before we went to high school...it is very hard to believe that this institution upon which we started our day could be corrupted, and that anything but the illusion which is created could be any closer to reality...but it IS happening right in front of our eyes...albeit slow enough as to not affect the congregation.
...I better smoke now
