So far, the "Patriot Act" *has* held up to judicial scrutiny, and to make things a bit worse, so were the prohibitions on photography during WWII. After all, we're at WAR, right? It's not that I disagree with you or I somehow *believe* in this stupidity - I'm merely trying to point out what IS done in the people's name in "times like these." The outcome of the election PROVES that "we" are fully in favor of this by the largest majority EVER. End of story. :(So, in your opinion, we should do nothing, because, in your opinion, we could do nothing, on the grounds that the Government is the Borg and any resistance is futile? I don't go for that crap. This isn't about the people of this country. This is about the people of New York. The people of New York voted "against" this crap. The MTA belongs to NY State, right? If that's the case, then we might as well screw up the MTA's plans by referendum. If no such mechanism exists, then get candidates elected that would put such a mechanism in place. End of story. :) |
