One of my responsibilities was to read the Patriot Act and bring the bank into compliance. Â Yeah. Â I read the whole damn thing. Â I saw every bit of infringement on personal liberty. Â I suddenly became a lot more interested in what my Congress critters were doing out there in the pretty building. Â Any idea that I had about the government being benevolent went out the window. Â Our response to being attacked by pure evil was not to vaporize them, but instead to gouge the freedoms of the citizens of this great nation.
I don’t just want to remember the victims of 9/11, but the monstrous response of the federal bureaucracy to it. Never let a crisis go to waste. If it was only Rahm that believed that, there wouldn’t be much of a problem.

What is sad is that she read the bill and most congress-critters probably didn’t.
Russ Feingold was the only Senator to vote no and 66 House reps voted no.
It’s funny, I was naive and indifferent to what went on in Washington prior to that. Not anymore.
