When I read about the PATRIOT ACT, I can't help but realize that we are essentially giving up fundamental rights to feel safer and in doing such I do not feel safer at all, much more vulnerable. I also recall that many of the people we put into office to vote on these things did not even bother reading it before they passed it. And it always reminds me of the writings of Martin Neemoller
First they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- because I was not a Jew
Then they came for the communists and I did not speak out-- because I was not a communist
Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out-- because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me and by then there was no one left to speak out for me
