did u all protest it back in august & september when the house of repersentative approved of it 223-199. me & pisshead posted threads about it, did not get a good response, I was just wondering if u think the patriot act is ridiculous 2. I think its much more terrible then the hate-speech, I tried 2 look 4 the background of this hate-speech law and cant seem to find the inventor of this law, hmmmmm i wonder who or what introduced it first. should look deeper into this. Do u all feel the same way about bush & cheney saying they will veto the anti-torture bill, i know its all for your safety. LOL
