USA PATRIOT Act (Score 1)

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
-- Ronald Reagan

If we allow the patriot act to stick around a while, unchallenged, we could very well see the USA come to where Mr. Reagan said it would.
