Comment More law = more crime! (Score 1) 189
Does anyone else see how the passage of the patriot act will create more crime? Every new law that is passed concerning Americans' freedom to live and work as honest citizens will create more crime. There is always a way to get around it, and more so for the criminal mind. This poses a fun game for criminals..gives them some other challenge to overcome. I also see it as a WIN for terrorism. What delight they must have in knowing they were responsible for sending America in such a spin that these freedom strickening laws are even being discussed! It really isn't the kind of message I think we should be sending to these anti-life people. Just as crime in America would rise, terrorism will in turn take more of a hold on the world. Here is an example of this......Imagine something like a bully at school. He seeks to make the life of other students rough to gain attention. Good or bad is not the point, as long as he is getting some recognition for his bully ways. My mom always told me when others make fun or try to upset you....make it known you dont like it, and don't let them know it upset you. Seems that terrorism can be fit into this situation. If terrorists see us fearful, and adapting law to keep them out, they will try harder to get in. Really people...if something is going to happen, it will....putting tags on Americans like dogs is not the solution. Many argue..If you aren't doing anything wrong then what is to hide?.. It's not really an issue of wrong doing. The question in response should be..What did I do wrong to be treated criminally? I hope more people can see the patriot act as bad news and bad policy that isn't a solution. It's more of a punishment to the majority that will create crime. I know I would give up my right to drive sooner than I would agree to be tagged like a criminal.
