KC, that's the worst Bowie version I'ver ever heard.
Careful with the "drunk Kennedy" comments. There's a lot of drunks that read this site, and some drunks that are running for office.
Finally, the Patriot Act IS uncontitutional and allows access to info that was previously considered sacred: library files showing books you take out, client lists (who's buyin what), etc.. At the same time, I DO want security at airports to profile those of mid-eastern descent. It's a new world, isn't it? Tough issues require tough decisions, and there are no perfect answers.
