PLease if your a animal lover take note. The Chief justice Alex kozinski of the 9th circuit court sided with japanese whalers to place a injunction agaist the sea sheppard and Paul watson to sease and assist all activites hindering the japanese whaling fleet from meaningless slaughter of 300 peaceful creatures who are considered endangered. Outrageous is the fact that chief justice Kozinski called the people trying to protect the whales pirates. Let out government know we side with nature.

Unless you TRULY own the land you are currently standing on, you have NO rights. Furthermore, while CURRENTLY standing on your truly OWNED land, you have NO protection, other than you. Sorry. There in lies the proof of the pudding.

If you want privacy, stay away from social networking sites like Facebook. Don't give out any factual personal information on the net - ever!

I believe it is apathy more or less but not so much a laziness, more a sense of being overwhelmed with a deluge of (intentional) overload. A conditioning of the masses IMHO. One Bill one Issue and one Vote at a time should be the order of the day of a Constitutional run Government. Instead we get 2000 issues in one Bill. To little to late , No, but harmful for a very long time. We will prevail in the end once the "Silent Majority" are awake. The Sleeper has awakened! LOL 2012!

DOH! sry bout that,.. yeah I went right past your definition of 'minority'.

Hmm.. then are the 'Silent Majority' apathetic, or lazy, or do they feel like,'why try? it won't change anything..'. If it's the latter, I do think that now, the apathy & laziness are goin away pretty quickly.. Too LIttle Too Late??

Cannot agree with the open form of "reasonable" you've put forth but I understand your meaning, since what is "Reasonable" has changed so dramatically since it's incarnation. Why? Is a whole other topic on Morals, Forced Federal Education Systems and our changing and Modified Society which also delves into the Political aspect as well. As for my meaning of "minority" I am aware of the Constitutional aspect, I was referring to a motivated "Minority" of voters that vote. Leftists.

We need to repeal the Patriot Act, it is a horrible violation of privacy.
