I hope you reread what I said a few times until you understand that I will never support any kind of internment camp anywhere for any reason whatsoever. I was trying to make two points: one is that the internment camps of WW2, while truely horrible, wrong, and illegal, have little to do with the camps we are currently operating because the current camps are involved in a war of aggrssion and are being covered for by an unconstitutional "Act" thus making both terrible situations a case of apples and oranges, and two that you were not working within the parameters of the question asked of you.

Hahaha. If you can twist my words that much, you must be able to do wonderful things with baloons. How did I justify the internment camps?

The 'special' thing about the last 30 years was already stated by Poppinjay.

So you read and completly misinterpret my opening, and then skip the part in which I directly take on your argument that the Patriot Act is "most overhyped document in the last 30 years of US history"? Well, now that I have explained to you in clearer language what I wrote, you can go back and read my full response.
