It now seems that the rumor about agents ability to ask for store recordswill be second nature. They now have full rights to get any and all storerecords without any probable cause or judges consent, simply by presenting aboguss letter to the establishment requesting all the information they wantin accordance with an investigation. the hell is running this country? Congress approved this...., whatcongress? Our congress! Just this week!Our congress has no backbone and is doing anything that Ashcroft and Bushwant. It's time to vote every single one of them out of office...If we evenhave voting rights come next year.This ought to be scaring the hell out of all of you.Now, you can be thrown in jail indefinitely with no trial, norepresentation, simply by some agent saying you could be intending to userocket motors for terrorism and obtaining those records simply by visitingyour local hobby shop. Even if you don't have any motors in your posession.-Boomer

The checks are being transferred from big corporations to the politicians in office; the balance of the contracts for any work associated with the government is being transferred to said corporations.

Clear now?

as a teen, I had the good fortune to read these (in order)

The Fountainhead We the Living Atlas Shrugged Anthem

Anthem is a fascinating futuristic story in the genre as Aldous Huxely's "Brave New World" and George Orwells "1984"

Unfortunately yes. If you set aside the war, the economy would actually rock from the very slight changes in the tax code. If bush can manage to further lower taxes (rates), get some variation of peace and for god's sake, return ourr rights I might even vote for the guy.
