Absolutely correct. It is the Baby Boomer generation that is running the ship of state right now. They have learned nothing except how to hold on to power. The more laws on the Books, the more protection they have to foist their views on us. Why do you think they passed the patriot act, to protect us,~LOL~it was to protect them from us. If they can jump into your life at any time for any reason (suspicion of terrorists activities) and rendition you to Guantanamo to be held without due process, the fear factor isolates them from us even more. I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't want to end up in Guantanamo for calling Bush an asshole, could happen under the patriot act, could be construed as an overt act of terrorism, first I call him an asshole and it escalates to a full blown security threat on the presidents life, this is the insanity of the Patriot Act, it can be interpreted in any crazy way the government wants. Just remember you who voted for this asshole, not once, but god only knows, twice, that it is you that are responsible for all this chaos and this deprivation of our freedoms under the guise of FEAR. The key words are Smoke and Mirrors!
