I'm not sure which. Who knows, maybe both Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butters 0 #6 June 12, 2007 The problem is that the War on Terror is like the War on Drugs, never ending. When do you release prisoners of war in a war that never ends? Edit: Do we start having prisoners from the War on Terror serve pirson sentences like prisoners from the War on Drugs?"That looks dangerous."

billvon 3,006 #7 June 12, 2007 It is indeed an encouraging sign. Let's hope that this signals a beginning of a return to a system of government based on the principles called out in our constitution, and away from one based on fear and cowardice.

billvon 3,006 #9 June 12, 2007 >We currently have a system of government based on cowardice? Yes. We pass laws based on fear. Our cowardice leads us to give up the protection of the constitution for a feeling of safety. "9/11! Terrorists setting off unimaginable weapons in the centers of our cities! WMD's! Your kids could be next! Unless, of course, we keep scary people in prison forever." I am glad to see that's no longer working. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The current decision was a no brainer due to the constitution. The initial decision to allow it was based on the opinion of some lawyers working for the current admistration. Monetary Lawsuit for ignoring the rights that are protected by the constitution?. 10 yr's from now the supremes may make a final decision that counts.

billvon 3,006 #16 June 12, 2007 >Interesting interpretation. Good commentary on this by Gore: ----------------------- The single most surprising new element in America's national conversation is the prominence and intensity of constant fear. Moreover, there is an uncharacteristic and persistent confusion about the sources of that fear; we seem to be having unusual difficulty in distinguishing between illusory threats and legitimate ones.

Not hard at all, since I've been to your website and have also seen posts with people calling you by name. I would, however, think that even an Illini could realize that, save for the website reference (that they may or may *NOT* go to), there is no information in your profile to tell them who you are. I'd also say that PhillyKev's example (and some things that have happened to others) argue against putting TOO much personal info into profiles OR posts.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
