[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1660531, member: 12508"] I am very much opposed to the Patriot Act. The whole idea of victimless crimes is a subject for endless debate. Is a prostitute who takes money for sex from a wiling patron a victim? Maybe, depending on the circumstances. Perhaps her pimp will kill her if she gets out of the business. It's all pretty circular. Hastert's crime violates societal laws designed to keep order and sanity. This particular area of the Patriot Act actually makes sense, because it makes circumventing the law a crime, and makes it more difficult for terrorists and drug dealers to transact their business. Hastert was Speaker of the House, and supposedly an example of someone who should follow laws, not break them. It also appears that because Hastert was an influential person, that he considered himself not responsible to play by the rules. He should spend the rest of his life in prison. Perhaps he can get a cell next to Sandusky so they can swap stories about young boys. [/QUOTE]
