9/11

Like everyone else over 10 years old I remember 9/11 well.

The biggest causality that day was our freedom.  Good, brave Americans died, some willingly in order to prevent more deaths.

God bless them.

But the "Patriot Act" was written by the very people who failed to defend us from such an act, and yet who wanted more power.  They weren't fired, they were rewarded.  The Patriot Act created the structure for a police state that inevitably would be abused.  It was passed by lazy politicians who wanted to say they 'did something'. 

It clearly was going to be abused.

 And it was.
