Do You Know Where Your Privacy Is?

blankmange writes "CNET is reporting coverage of the Computers Freedom and Privacy Conference, being held in San Francisco this week. 'The conference, normally a forum for digerati to pose a series of frightening "what if" scenarios, has morphed into an event where participants' worst surveillance nightmares may be poised to come true following the terrorist attacks.' Sounds like we may want to listen for any definitive solutions that come from this conference."

    First off, I thought you First Amemendment people would like to know the history (not that it matters to Leftists)of WHY there is a second ammendment. It was place after the first as a defense of the first.

    You take away the second, who is going to be able to defend against the "political correctness" of the Nazi's and Communists and all other forms of totalitarian governments. Maybe you like the current "political correctness" movement, but in time that will disappear, and be replace by a political correctness like Nazi Germany or Communist China. Then again, maybe that is the type of government you would enjoy.

    THE ONLY reason this country is one, (a country) is because of the second ammendment. You see, when they can take away your right to defend yourself, you will not be able to defend yourself against ANY brute whether it be state sponsored or just the mugger grabbing your purse.

    It is ignorant people like yourself that endanger everyone in this country. If you hate Guns so bad, why don't you move to a country that doesn't have any, like China, or England?

    I am sure though that fact really don't matter in an idealogical debate, they rarely do, but in every case were guns were outright banned, totalitarians were right there to take over. Not that it matters to you, you don't want to be confused with facts, you have already made up your mind.
