Ciao.
The truth is, truth is scarce. That is the only truth I know.

I don't think I know all of the truths, but I certainly know that the truth is scarce on all levels of society. You cannot sit here and tell me that because the government said "so and so did it, and it happened <this> way," without providing evidence to *you*, that you know the truth of it. Which is my point... and which is also why people question it. It's why I question it. Do you have the intelligence reports? Have you seen any evidence other than biased news reports on television?

Do you really understand the nature of power?
Do you really think that with this bill, they will only target terrorists when tapping a line, when in fact they do not know who the terrorists are? This would mean that they would have to consider anyone, and everyone, a possible terrorist. This is why this gives immunity to telecommunications corporations to monitor phone calls. Do you understand the nature of this? Do you think they would actually give this power up? Where is the line drawn, Rusty? With the War on Terror, how can you be so sure that this will ever stop until there is nothing more to take?
Maybe if you read up on some history, you will realize that we really are in some trouble here. It is cowardly, and unintelligent to give up freedom for security.
