Dear Santa, Can I have a police state for xmas?

Welcome to the police state fellas. Both parties are pushing this bullshit. Government only wants power and when it gets power, it expanded their defense of power. The scariest thing for a bureaucrat is the thought of people taking away their ability to control.

 

what are you even saying bro?

talk to me when you've got asshats making home-made bombs and leaving them in mini-vans in your city.

thanks, but I rather have a few more German shepherds around when I get off the lirr...

 
ANT:
Glad to know that you are willing to forgo one of America's most cherished freedoms for an imaginary threat. Ben Franklin was thinking of you and you ilk when he said that well known quote.

I'm not forgoing anything, because I don't intend to do any illegal shit.

but glad to know you hold things said over 200 years ago word for word, and don't have the capacity to understand that the times they are a'changin. I guess stem-cell research should be banned, because the bible says it's wrong...

1) Privacy is more about illegality.

2) You are not smarter or wiser than the founding fathers. What was created and signed over 200 years ago still stands today. Sorry that you think otherwise.

3) Stem Cell research should continue without government funding. It is not the federal governments job to decide which science should be favored.

End of the day if you are fine with your rights be infringed upon, cool, but the USA was not founded on this police state behavior and as it continues to expand and grow, we become less free and less like the great nation that we once were.

You're right, times are a changin'. Unfortunately, they are changing in a horribly negative way.

 

This is not a move towards a safer state. Note that the VIPR teams have done nothing towards reducing incident rates or preventing attacks: "no proof that the roving viper teams have foiled any terrorist plots or thwarted any major threat to public safety." There is nothing wrong with adding resources to be ready for an incident. Patrolling more just looking for trouble, however, is not serving any cause other than pushing us to a USSR-esque status.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

I like freedom. But I also like being alive to enjoy it.

If you don't think there are real threats to our lives then I don't know what to tell you. I rather have to wait a bit longer to get on a plan, then arrive into a building earlier than scheduled...

 

I am definitely not smarter or wiser than they were, but there are many who are.

200 years ago you didn't have bombs (at least not like today,) or planes, or trains, or over 8 million people in a city.

You didn't have automatic weapons.

As our civilization advances we need to insure that our measures for keeping the peace advance as well. You don't have to me smarter than the founding fathers to realize this.

I completely understand that there is a risk in having that line move - but at a certain point it needs to be adjusted. And when I have to worry about getting to work late vs. getting to work at all, that's when the point has been reached.
