My Mom says it's okay to do what he did because we're at war and sometimes you have to give up some of your rights for the war. She said it's okay that Bush did it because she trusts Bush to do it right.


It never ceases to amaze me how quick some people are willing to chuck their rights just so that they can feel safe.



I was just suprised because it went against the logical and rational thinking she taught me while growing up. I think sometimes political labels and stigma have more influance on digesting information than we'd like to think. I don't think she's being objective. Since I can remember she said "no big government, they should stay out of our homes and let us do what we want" - add to that she wanted to be a lawyer before she had kids (ala "innocent until proven guilty" and "better ten guilty go free than one innocent be imprisoned"). This seems like the opposite of both of those.

Old men, fear me! You will shatter under my ruthless apathetic assault!
