The freedoms we have lost and given up truly frighten me. We've given up free speech and privacy for security. We are willing to waive the right to be protected from search and seizure and even a right to a fair trial so that we're safe from terrorists. We're encouraged to report friends and neighbors. The separation of church and state is seriously dwindling. Roe v. Wade is almost out of the door. Even Miranda has been diluted. It seems like individual freedoms are going by the wayside for the "greater good."
And I'm on the verge of getting seriously political, so I guess better get my fingers off the keyboard and go do something constructive.
