Re:A Time To Kill (Score 1)

If there ever comes a time where we are actually being attacked *on our own soil* with *alarming frequency* (did you read my post?), I want our government to do something about it. Being that terrorists are so hard to find by the fact that they are a hidden target, if the best way to find them is by using information technology and giving up some freedoms on our precious telecommunications, I'm totally fine with that. Like I said in my post, I don't think that time is now. My point was there is a point where you want to take some temporary uncomfortable action to prevent the spread of something worse. As a simple example, when a crowd gets out of hand at a concert or after winning a national championship and goes on a looting rampage... yeah, bring out the farkin police force until its over. Or, wait, would you say that having a temporary police-state or is a violation of your freedom to go walking around at night while a riot is happening? You can only state such idealist thoughts because the problem is not immediately in your backyard. When it is (however likely that actually is), I'm sure you'll change your tune. Again, my point was there is a time (not now)... people who say otherwise don't have a very good imagination.
