The great thing about our system is that we can exercise the right of the people to alter or to abolish our government at the polls first instead of jumping straight to armed revolution. The law prohibiting confiscation in the wake of law enforcement action after Katrina is a perfect example of something that was done right to ensure our freedoms are protected. People got pissed off and our representatives fixed the problem. It's not frequently that this kind of thing happens, but it shows that there's at least a shred of decency left in our legislators.
