The reason it is different from 1933 is that people are willing to stand up for everybodies' rights, not just their own. The Bush administration got in the fear business after 911 and started to roll back Constitutionaly protected rights. They are being stopped. If you are still scared, get a dog.
Once again, I am not afraid of anything because I know that some really dedicated people are out there doing the good work hunting down the people who want to harm us. I will not support hamstringing their good work.

So why not eliminate warrants altogether? Or is the NSA the only organization made up entirely of saints, requiring no oversight?

Makes no difference to me, really I don't care. The NSA should not be feared by the American public.

OK, so you just don't see a need for the concept of a warrant. I guess that's as far as this conversation can go.

April's uncle used to work for the NSA in the 80s. Then he flipped out when his wife left him and disappeared. Apparently, the FBI and CIA came here looking for him. Eventually, they found him on the side of a road in Virginia, naked, his car ablaze. He now collects disability and lives in a small apartment near April's mom's house.

What makes you think they want to hurt us? A good versus evil world is just an illusion. If they do anything to hurt us it is probably because we did something very bad to them.

What an awesome way to collect disability! That's using yer head.

Naked is good, too, that way when they take you, they won't shoot you thinking you're concealing something.

The car fire seems a bit over the top though.

He will change his tune when the Executive branch flips back to the Democrats. Then it will be like the old days when all you heard about was the horrors of Ruby Ridge and Waco.

I don't see how that fits into a discussion of warrentless searches. I would bet that they had all thier ducks in a row... well at least until that sniper shot and killed the mother holding her baby or the match was lit.

No, I haven't traveled much but I know, except for rare cases, people won't attack me as long as I repect them and their culture.

Also, how does traveling have any relevance to people coming here and attacking me at my house?

He wanted to kill himself, so he set the car on fire...but he got scared of the flames.
