I've probably said it before but when it was decided to subvert the Articles of Confederation because it didn't create a powerful enough Federal government people wanted their rights guaranteed because the new Constitution was a naturally grasping document. Our present situation with the deterioration of the 4th Amendment smells like total state.

The NSA business outside our borders breeds the same sort of contempt for America that the Bush Administration didn't take into account before the Iraq debacle. Its a small planet and getting smaller.
