GR: crystal balls? Thanks for the compliment! 1 outta 2 on the quotes isn't bad...but our essential rights haven't been denied! How 'bout deeply troubled? I have no answer for some of your empassioned queries....except I too agree we are on a downhill slide. In America today, it takes 2 earners to barely break even, meaning most of us are just trying to make a living, hoping the kids are safe, praying that no major crisis strikes before the kids' college fund is complete. We trust our leaders to do the right thing and we find out way too often they've fallen short of our trust and vision. I don't think wiretapping is correct unless the court(checks and balances) allows it, but if it saves thousands of lives by doing it then I'm good. The problem with our govt is that it has been complicit in so much crap way before you and I were born that we've weakened or destroyed most of our credibility to the US citizens, and in some cases, our allies. I can only hope that ALL of the good-ol-boy cliques can be done away with....on both sides of the aisle.
