Quote for the Weekend

"It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you."

- Dick Cheney
Vice President of the United States

This is especially true in the face of those who believe the Patriot Act a greater threat to civil liberties than those who would try to kill us.

Comments:
Those that are trying to kill us are, by definition, trying to take our lives. As such, they are a minimal threat to civil liberties.

From Wikipedia:

"Civil liberties are protections from the power of governments. Examples include the right to life , freedom from torture, freedom from slavery and forced labour, the right to privacy, the right to a fair trial, freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, and the right to marry and have a family. These are usually guaranteed and protected by a constitution or by adherence to an international treaty."

So, yeah, the guys trying to take our lives are more than "a minimal threat to our civil liberties."

Cheers,

Rob
