It isn't about terrorists; it's about acclimating American citizens to the constant use of despotic authority and surveillance. Our tyrant rulers will only feel safe when we are thoroughly cowed and constantly monitored.

Anyone who takes a job violating the 4th Amendment rights of American citizens while sexually assaulting them deserves to die.

Agreed. It takes more clicks to accomplish the same tasks in Win7. And it's extremely irritating that they renamed certain features making it harder to locate them. The reason ofcourse is marketing. If new operating systems do not look different, few will buy them regardless of any "behind the scenes" improvements. XP was too good, there was very little to "fix." I'm in horrified suspense waiting to see how unusable they make Win8.

No expression of free speech "causes" harm. The harm is always caused by the small, ignorant minds that are listening and then responding, not with reason, but with violence.
