Sad but true. Good morning btw :) Have a great day! Mine is winding down for Friday :)


>I will have to agree with you on that. While I know it may be more common (in the past) in other countries, it has been known to happen in the U.S. as well. I think most Americans in their naivete would assume outright that to be impossible in the U.S., but alas, it has occurred in the past and with the new Homeland Security laws, it will happen more often in the future. People who have grown up with individual rights and freedoms cannot even imagine those being taken away until it happens to them. We also tend to forget the past that haunts us including the lack of protection under the law for Native Americans, Asian Americans and Irish Americans in the past let alone the civil rights movement...

>>Hi Tracy. I understand your points and agree with them at the level at which they can be implemented. However my point has more to do with the fact that there are powers that be that can remove you and/or your rights if it is in their interest to do so. In such cases you will not necessarily get the opportuinity to argue your rights at all.

>>To imagine that we have rights that somehow protect us like an invincible shield is an illusion when there are even more powerful agents that can completely remove those rights.
