"Unfortunately most people don't even care."
That's incredible to me! How can people not care? I'm not understanding, and again, it's always the same people who trumpet the greatness of our country and the freedom within. I live in NYC, I was there when 9/11 happened, I witnessed the towers burning and falling, and many of my friends who lived a block away and saw people jumping from windows and ran as dust and rubble overcame them. And yet we are all in concensus that though it was horrible, it did not, it could not ever warrant the taking away of those freedoms that the people in those buildings and in the pentagon died for. They died for that freedom, as the patriots died for theirs, and sometimes that is the price. Give me liberty or give me death is what I believe in, and nothing else, especially not panic or fear will make be feel otherwise. I am appalled that so many of us who talk about it quail at the opportunity to prove it. Especially those who, I'm sorry to say it, were not there. At least those who were could have some small crumb of an excuse. But not much.
Another point - There is no evidence that the policies put into place have done anything to increase our safety. In fact, many of these laws do not even adress terrorism, but apply instead to domestic affairs. PLEASE REVIEW THIS BILL.
