Scary Americans

This summer we've seen the news coverage of folks protesting our government as too big, too involved (bailouts) and scary (health care lies). But aren't these the same folks supporting the Patriot Act and its re-enactment. The scariest law I've seen in my life. It's so much the domestic surveillance , the detention, the torture and more as much the reality that the my fellow Americans were willing to support it, let alone accept it. And after all that, congratulations, we've arrested a suspected terrorist in Colorado.
