Fortunately, the Patriot Act 2 has yet to be passed. Let's just make sure it doesn't get passed.

They couldn't slip it in with something else like the rave act....could they? All it would take is another terrorist attack and i think most would support these 'security precautions'.

Really. The Patriot Act says that...But do you honestly think that the government is going to imprison you for saying "Down with Bush!"? C'mon....
-------------------- After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action. If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it. - Ernest Hemingway If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it. In the law courts, in business, in government. There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent. -Cormac MacCarthy He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus

They've done worse. If you had that in a song lerix, you may very well be imprisoned after patriot act 2 passes. I wonder how hard its going to be to move to canada after that....

Lets try it from a different angle.
Do you honestly think that the government is going to imprison you for growing a harmless weed that can be found naturally all over the planet?
-------------------- The above is an extract from my fictional novel, "The random postings of Edame". In the beginning was the word. And man could not handle the word, and the hearing of the word, and he asked God to take away his ears so that he might live in peace without having to hear words which might upset his equinamity or corrupt the unblemished purity of his conscience. And God, hearing this desperate plea from His creation, wrinkled His mighty brow for a moment and then leaned down toward man, beckoning that he should come close so as to hear all that was about to be revealed to him. "Fuck you," He whispered, and frowned upon the pathetic supplicant before retreating to His heavens.

Lets try it this way, Do you honestly think that the President would allow actions taken that involve shooting up a compound filled with a religious sect, then burning the evidence, and categorically denying it? Nah, doesn't sound like America to me.

Learyfan - That picture you showed of the wonderful freedoms we had when *bows his head in reverence* the Honest, praisworthy, freedom-loving Lord of Liberalism *prostrates himself before mentioning the name* Bill Clinton *Feels the power of freedom and love flow through him* was in charge. nothing shows freedom like Tanks V. Children in a compound. God Bless clinton! I wish he was back in office! I miss him so! Maybe he could also pass more "freedom oriented" measures such as taking away our right to bear arms, I mean, the constitusion was written by a bunch fo White conservatives, and we all know what clinton does to them (see: Picture of tanks burning building down)

Maybe by today's standards, but by the standards of the time, they were quite liberal.

Why are americans constantly supporting the lesser of two evils? If there is not a qualified candidate who represents my interests, i dont vote. I dont compare shitty times to even shittier times, but rather work to make the times good again...or move to where they are better. A country is only a place to live, and if your not happy you should move.

"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans to legitimately own handguns and rifles" March 1, 1993, Remarks by the President In Discussion With National Service Volunteers, Learning Center New Brunswick, New Jersey
For one i'm glad that we FINALLY had a president who wasn't concered with the rights of ordinary Americans... geez, when can we get another lberal pussy in office? Clinton in 2004!
"the purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people" during an interview on MTV in 1993
WAHOO! REIN MY RIGHTS IN!
the point of these quotes is to show that this "dictatorship" you are whining about began when Clinton got elected, but no liberal pussies said anything about it then, because he was Clinton! the holy, the almighty, the burner of innocent children. the "reiner of rights" even!

Actually, it began long before that. If I were to pick a presidency that started the road towards dictatorship, I'd pick Roosevelt.

Judging by your posts, I'm sure you have plenty of other enemies to worry about other than the government.
