Yes they would, considering the fact that nearly half of the country is trying to destroy its values everyday, the fact that we can't keep track of our borders, not to mention the education system is horrible beyond reform (and I don't need any articles or polls to tell me that, I go to school and know it firsthand), and the media lies to spread anti government propaganga, not to mention you can't say shit about someone without getting sued, and physicians don't practice anymore because they don't wanna be sued, and finally, we are so partisan with other political parties its no wonder this country is going to hell in a handbasket..yes, George Washington is spinning his ass off in his grave.
TooTired: As far as what has already been done concerning listening in on phone calls (Or monitoring calling patterns) I am against. The arguement of "If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about" goes against the idea of freedom. If you keep slowly giving up all your rights, don't be too shocked when you realize you have none left.
Yeah, its better than doing nothing at all. I don't need to justify anything here. I'm just trying to inform people, so don't be surprised when it happens.
mschulz5 Unfortunately, with today's system the only thing you can really do about anything is spread information. Keep people informed. If you go out and picket, you look like a nut, and nobody listens to you anyway. What it comes down to is informing people, and hopefully they'll pass the word on to the people they elected to vote for them in congress. What really sucks is that most people don't do that anymore. Right now, the system sucks. Nobody is really voting about the issues that matter anymore, they're voting for a face.
