Bush Wins; House Leaves Patriot Act As Is
Bush and his fellow morons successfuly stopped yet another attempt [there's been a few so maybe there's a few sensible people up there] to weaken the rather totalitarian Patriot Act. One republican changed his vote to no "after being shown Justice Department documents asserting that terrorists have communicated over the Internet via public library computers". Ok. So if we find terrorists have chatted in the restroom, do we then place cameras in the stalls? If we find little terrorist kids passing notes in math class, do we strip search them and confiscate their pencils? Yep. Yale's passing our best and brightest!
They think, "Oh, it's ok, a little loss of privacy won't do any harm..." I've heard many customers say how afraid they are, how they are unwilling to do certain things online not because of terrorism, but because of the possibility of information tracking. People not working on their resumes, not checking their email, not looking up information, because they think [and are kind of right] that the government is spying on them. Great country this is.

Bush won't speak at an NAACP thingy cause the blacks "Make fun" of him. http://www.bushwatch.com/blacks.htm
The gov't was thinking too high tech, I guess. Public libraries? The public shouldn't be dragged into this just because the gov't doesn't know how to defend its forts. Jeez. 9/11. Bad guys are going back to the basics here and are actually winning. Bush should stop watching all those witty Microsoft commercials.
ArtisticSpirit : If he was really afraid of being made fun of, he'd never open his mouth!
andie : I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and say they weren't thinking at all. The things they're doing supposedly in the public good is just causing more harm.
