When and how does one draw the line between liberty vs. security? With the renewal of the Patriot Act looming and the recent admissions by President Bush regarding govt. sanctioned yet legally suspicious spying on suspected terrorist contacts on American soil, when is enough actually enough? Are the actions of the President for the sake of America's security a slippery slope in which the citizens of this nation will, at best, find it hard to recover from and, at worst, suffer for? A lot of people are paranoid about this and I think, to a certain degree, they have the right to do so. I don't believe our civil rights are in great peril now but if the course of action remains on this same path, it may be in the foreseeable future.
By the way, when does asking questions about your government make you un-patriotic?
