DP, the Patriot Act allows the US government to arbitrarily arrest and incarcerate anyone who *might* be a terrorist. They don't even have to have a warrant, and if you're taken in this way, you're not obligated to a fair trial either. The Patriot Act is a gigantic spit on the face of the forefathers of the USA, as it is a direct contradiction to the Constitution and all the principles this nation was founded on. There isn't anything anyone can do about it either, since it was signed in by the President, and even if Congress were to overturn it, he could overturn the overturning because he has that kind of power. Basically...we have to wait until we have a Democrat in office before we can rid the country of the barrel-feeding scum-sucker that is George W Bush and his freedom-raping Patriot Act. And when his scumbag arse is kicked out of the White House, I'm going to laugh in his face for being such a moron redneck who is only president because Jeb Bush in Florida messed with the voting results.
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.
