[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 174889, member: 4823"] Please do not take it personally. I will not pounce on you, I will pounce on the statements:If we take a look at those who committed acts of terrorism in the US - The Haymarket Riots, the 1920 bombing of Wall Street, The Weather Underground, poisoned Tylenol, Oklahoma City bombing, Symbionese Liberation Army, Unabomber, the Birmingham Church Bombing of 1963, Earth First!, Al Queda, Lucas Helder, George Metesky.... The profile should be male, largely white, mostly working-class (but intellectuals are not to be ignored), twenties to middle-aged. I apologize for running incidents, individuals and groups all together. (I make a special apology to anyone who feels slighted because I left them off the list: I am so very sorry!) Of course the terrorists will figure out that they can avoid detection with the elderly lady in a wheelchair disguise.What happens when the definition of "wrong" changes? What happens when something you already own becomes contraband? With unlimited surveillance, we can come much closer to 100% enforcement of the letter of every law.If you were really unfeeling, you would not be worried about someone pouncing on what you have said. When you say that you don't care if [U]some[/U] peoples rights are stepped on, do you include yourself in the "some people", or are you thinking it would always be somebody else? Your use of "...[I]a bit[/I]..." and "...[I]some[/I] interruption or irritation..." makes it appear that you think that there should be limits. The question is reduced to one of [U]where to draw the line[/U]. You appear to want to move the line.Those two sentences do not appear to go together. But there they are.:wink: [/QUOTE]
