This one deosn't bother me that much. People sometimes need to be protected from themselves. If the Gov. says its to dangerous for people to go back then so be it, i guess. They have to enforce it somehow...


Now the illegal taking of firearms from law abiding citizens during Katrina was bullshit and a step way over the line imo.

Are we promised the right to privacy in all matters? I have no problem tapping a suspect phone line. Tapping on a whim maybe a different deal but a tap to gather evidence is no problem for me.

Hell I dont even care if they racial profile to do it. After all racial profile is a numbers game basicly.

Once you're down the rabbithole there's no coming back. Redefine and broadening what "domestic terrorism" is a few times, and all of a sudden you find yourself getting wiretapped. Its opening the proverbial Pandora's Box.

I dont really think that would ever happen. It's too much against the current practice of goverment which I call the Frog in Boiling water theory. If you look at the nature of the actions taken, they have all been, very specifically directed. Martial Law would wake everyone up and thats the last thing they want.

Exactly, it's much easier to fuck the sheep while they are sleeping. Ask someone from West Virginia.

Your post is so ignorant it is almost physically painful. Martial Law is not the problem...uneducated Americans (like you, in this particular case) are the problem.

Do all of us a favor and research what types of things were imposed on American civilians during wartime dating all the way back to the Revolutionary War.

Terrible, just terrible.
