Senate Trashes Civil Liberties; House to Vote Today
The U.S. Senate passed its version of the "anti-terrorism" legislation last night. The Washington Post, CNN, and Wired all have stories. There are terrorists under every rock, and we must destroy our freedom in order to save it. Remember: gamblers are terrorists too. The House is apparently going to drop their version of the legislation and vote on a copy of the Senate bill.
Let me try to give you an analogy for Slashdot's homepage. It's like an anal raping: it's a combination of cock and shit and cum and blood and more. Over the years, we've figured out homosexuals are best on Slashdot. The ultimate goal is, of course, to create an anal buffet that I enjoy eating: by 8pm, I want to see a dozen sloppy asses lined up and waiting for my penetrational whims on Slashdot. I hope you enjoy them too. I believe that we've grown in number of anal terrorists because we share a lot of common interests with our rapists and rapees. But that doesn't mean that I'm gonna start a backdoor orgy with all dildoes, or someday throw away the ass plugs because the anal beads are really filthy. There are many components to the Slashdot anal raping. Stories about faggots. Incestuous stories. Homosexuality. Cocks. Porn Reviews. Yes, even Jon Katz. By mixing and matching asses and cocks every day, we bring you what I call Slashdot. On some days it definitely is better than others, but overall we think it's a tasty little treat and we hope you enjoy reading about eating ass as much as we enjoy fucking it.

What about the collective silence regarding the Federal Government's continued violation of the Tenth Amendment?
What about the disarming of law abiding American Citizens who wish to exercise their HUMAN RIGHT of self-defense not to mention their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to keep and bear arms.
BTW, if you are between the ages of 18 and 45, a US Citizen, etc then by law (Federal & California) you are a member of the militia. Why then do they make it so difficult to "keep and bear arms"????

Do you want to feel safe, or do you want to be free?
Its hardly the mutually exclusive choice that you make it out to be.
If it means giving up the "freedom" to illegally gamble at off shore casinos... I can live with that.
If it means that the government can "eavesdrop" over an insecure medium such as the internet.. fine.
If it means a very sensical restructuring of goverment wiretap laws, I'm fine with that.
Basically theres nothing to get excited about here. I know these so called privacy groups have to raise a rucus in order to keep people contributing to their cause, but really its sick to see them exploiting a rather level headed bill for their own ends.
DrLunch.com The site that tells you what's for lunch!
See what you can do with groups such as the ACLU to take any issues to court and challenge on constitutional grounds.
The ACLU? Are you kidding? They're too busy trying to shut down nativity scenes to worry about things like this. They are about the last group that I'd want to depend on to defend our freedoms. Oh sure, they'll go all out for you, as long as you pass their PC litmus test, but anything beside that...fuhgeddaboutit!
In Soviet Russia, Chuck Norris will still kick your ass.
Fix the government? Heh.
There is nothing wrong with the government. Politicians have to make deals. That is how laws get passed. Big business? Is that the problem? I don't think I have EVER seen anyone complain here when they recieve the benefits of those big business deals.
Fact of the matter is, there are people out there trying to kill us. Having been shot at for real in my life, I would have to say yes, if I have to be inconvienced for a little while to save my life
then so be it. Laws can be repealed.

And a note for you people even mentioning the line of "if the US wouldn't poke their nose into others business..." - sell your computer, and go buy an active brain cell.
Do you not think that a woman who is being stoned to death because she was showing to much forearm is ok? Do you think it is ok to kill people because they are of a different religion? You must.
Do you bitch when gas prices are high? Well then STFU when the US gets involved for control of oil. Should we allow Jews to be massacred for no reason whatsoever? (And don't give me the crap about displaced Palestinians, the Jews have been living there just as long.)BTW, have you ever been there?
The Middle East is big game of king of the hill, and there are no rules about taking human life. Suicide bombers? Hey, when your avergae life expectancy is 46.5 years, you eat sand for a meal, and haven't had clean water or medicine in 10 years, and you truly believe that all your pain will end, and suddenly you will wake up in paradise - guess what.
The sad thing is that there are millions and millions of people being denied basic rights that most of you seem to have taken for granted. You believe that you have the right to say here whatever you want about religion? Fine. Then go fight the Taliban and others, so that others can finally have the rights you were given at birth.
Ah, just as I thought. You want to see the world change for you, and rights are just something you think you are owed. If you saw someone about to murdered, would you try to save them? I doubt it.
People like those posting just don't get it, and when the going gets tough, they get going.
But since it seems we are deciding here who should have rights, and who shouldn't, I say you shouldn't.
