Hmmph - because I don't object to the idea that snoopin' can lead to better security - I'm unpatriotic. Someone said there's a price to pay for freedom - no shit! I paid - with just over 20 years. You served your country lately? If so - rock on! If not - try it! (You might like it!) "Essential liberty" ... the right to total and complete privacy - to do whatever you want UNTIL after you've done somthing (read 'wrong', 'illegal', 'immoral', whatever) and then expect society to catch you - it's all fun and games 'till someone does it to you. We have essential liberty - as it was defined a couple of hundred years ago. I can object to the guv'ment (watch Leno or Letterman any given night), worship or refuse to worship as I see fit, drive to any state, AND yes - own a gun. Sometimes I think we have it so good all we can do is bitch about it... But what's even better, is everyone can disagree with me - and not be wrong. I can understand and truly appreciate every response to my latest post except for the anonymous coward that told me to go find some principles and patriotism. For him, I can only say "get a fuckin' clue, idiot". Patriotism = "Stay out my business"? Yeah right... Again, have you served your country lately?

My first "troll"! Hmm...I think shows that fork the plot into 20 or 30 sub-dramas and are hard to follow if you miss half a season are doomed, but an obvious Farscape-fan Mod "Troll"'s the post I wrote saying so...

Just goes to show there are levels of genius out there some of us will never understand...
