    One thing to remember is this.

    The powers that are established today will still be there tomorrow. If you agree with Obama, great, but who is the president of tomorrow? We'll have another idiot like W calling the shots one day, to think otherwise is completely foolish. How much power do you really want to put in governments hands? How many tools do you want Dubbya 2.0 to have at his disposal?

    With things like warrant-less wiretapping being illegally set in motion by Bush, and then approved/extended by the Dems a few months ago, exactly how many of these powers do you think gov will ever do away with?

    IMO, we shouldn't be so quick to give 'fix it' power away today at the expense of tomorrow.
