This is why the government having numbers of who they are tracking with their programs is wrong. Pretty soon they will look for people who are gambling, people that have dissetent views, people who have differing political views. Once a system is in place that can easily be abused without anyone finding out it WILL be abused. Absolute power currupts absolutly. This is why the founding fathers put so many checks on the governments power. Some of you defend the errosion of these checks in favor of "current saftey" but what about the our saftey in the future?
ps. Please try not to get this thread closed like the last, there is definatly a lot to be discussed on this topic but when we have petty bickering we get nothing done and the thread gets closed.
