I'm getting A-skeered....

The 60 page report from th FBI as required by the patriot act is out.<br><br>Turns out the Feds set up a new court specifically for Patriot Act requirements that is available to the FBI 24/7/365.24.<br><br>What I dont get is that they can monitor just about anybody and there really isnt a hole lot we can do about it. Most of the laws have not been tested and I think we need some to limit the Feds ability to just sneak into our daily actions. <br><br>Not that I have anything to hide...I dont...just dont agree with it. Would rather take my chances and live in privacy than with the &quot;alknowing&quot;.<br><br>So...here is what the Feds are proposing now...&quot;Patriot Act 2&quot;<br><br>say NO!!!!<br><br>They want to be able to trace credit and debit cards so they know exactly where all of us are all of the time. That is like an hour to hour thing. Not to mention the GOv is trying to do away with paper money.<br><br>They also want to tap on star and other vehicle safety systems so they can monitor where our cars are, how fast we are driving and so on.<br><br>Also want to tap all of our medical, emplyment and other records so they know our health, life history and so on.<br><br>The future is bleak.<br><br>Call your local congressman and such and <br>Say NO!!!<br><br>A &quot;feeling&quot; of Safety is not worth the price of &quot;Physical&quot; freedom and &quot;individual&quot; privacy....EVER!

Re:I'm getting A-skeered....

That's bull****!!! Back in the day (and I'm talking like 19th century), there was no one watching over us. No govt prying in to our personal lives. Nothing. The people basically goverened themselves. And everybody was happy. Was there crime back then? Yes. Was it as bad as it is now? No. IMO, the reason it is getting worse is because people are just trying to prove to the govt that even though they may be watching them at all times, it's not going to stop them. I have nothing to hide. But at the same time, I would like my OWN time to remain my OWN time. What I do with my spare time is none of their cotton picking business. What I do on THEIR time is. Sorry if this post makes sense but I've got 15 million thoughts rollin around in it and they are just coming out randomly.
