It was reported over the public radio that the police in Denver Colorado are seeking cab drivers to report suspicious activity and now I hear that the Government is seeking to continue some of the "Patriot Act". Specifically the part that makes it easy for the government to place wire taps and spy on business.
I have a real problem with this. Do we really have to spy on each other? What constitutes "Suspicious activity"? Does this not hark back to the days of communist Russia? Is our society so morally corrupt that we need to constantly watch out for the other guy and report everything to the authorities? Does this not seem like right out of George Orwell's 1984 or V for Vendetta?
Where will it end? With Secret Police and check points on our road ways?
I consider myself a patriot but I don't think there is anything patriotic about the "Patriot Act" and the more laws that are made that invade our personal freedoms, the more we all will become criminals. This Shit is important! you need to lend your voice and your opinion in any way possible.
