You only need a drivers licence to operate a vehicle on a public road.
Big difference to what you said. Now have the grace to admit you were
wrong.

You haven't been hit by a train. Does that mean there are

Monitoring the phone calls of millions of Americans isn't
very smart
or effective.


Unless one of those ''Americans'' gives up some vital info.

So, it is then ok in your opinion to monitor the calls of millions of
American on the chance that one of those conversations is between two
terrorists. Do you really think that's the best way to gather
intelligence..
listening to some mom gripe about her 8 year old? Don't you think that it
would be more productive to actually intelligently profile the people
we're
looking for? I guess not.

personal privacy is to important according to some.

It's a slippery slope from just a little bit of loss of
our liberties in
exchange for questionable security to a full-blow police
state.


Kinda like gun control, no? Oh wait, the libs are *for* gun
control.

Gun control? You're damn right I'm for gun control. I don't see any
reason
for people to have dozens of semi-automatic weapons that are unlocked and
unregistered and easy to buy with no background checks by people who have
no
idea how to actually use them. We make people take a test for car and
truck
driving don't we?

Actually, no, you don't. Think about it.
