tapping mayer arar's lawyer's phone as well, after he was deported to and tortured in syria then denied any access to canadian authorities, hadn't done anything but travel through the us to get somewhere. they use it for way more than some sort of unauthorized wide sweeping terror search and use it against people in some of the most haneous ways

excerpt from a good editorial I read recently:
"But America is not under attack by an enemy force of any significance. We got sucker punched by 19 maniacs with box cutters. Republicans want us to run scared because of that for the rest of our lives. But the thing about a sucker punch is that you can't protect yourself against it. Any idiot can take the breath out of you, no matter how tough you are. But only cowards -- actually I think "scaredy cat" is more appropriate here -- live their lives worrying about such things. Of course you've got to do your best to stay alert -- in this context that means port, air and many other types of security. But freaking out and becoming paranoid leaves you more vulnerable, not more protected."

I wouldn't want anyone searching my house, that's for sure. It totally smells like my feet most days.

(May 22 06, 13:37)Do you think you are the only one who knows the web address to cnn.com, bbc.com or for that matter, are the only one who reads the news?
You're pretty good at being the political mouthpiecs of Newstoday, informing us of information we already knew, I would honestly suggest you try and get a part-time radio gig in Wisconsin someplace. Probably for a somewhat liberal, if not fully liberal station. I think you'd be very good at it. Honestly.

nah garett, not interested.
Whether you agree with me or not, you have to see that your rights are being whittled away at an ever-increasing pace.

I think I realized, at about the age of 14, when I got my first paycheck and so much was gone for shit I didn't even have or couldn't do, and, to me it was taxation without representation... I knew that in reality, we have no rights. Tell me a country in this world that does and I'll personally send you something nice in the mail chief.

there are limits, garett.
they are basically revoking civil liberties in the name of security, I don't agree with it. The reason I talk about this all of the time is because it pisses me off that people are too wrapped up in fucking american idol to realize they are getting screwed big time.

i don't know if garettwest actually disagrees with any of this or just sounds like it

He does like breaking my balls for some reason. I have been quite disrespectful to him in the past, but only after provoked.
It bugs me when people say everything I say is just Bush bashing, like I'm player-hatin' on 50 cent or some other trivial bullshit.

And I ate a bunch of animals.
Carry on.

"Here’s the problem, the kid did it far too soon and the minivan was traveling way too slow. So as it’s about to pass and they are still laughing I, almost nonchalantly, toss my almost full Natural Fruit Smoothie into the vehicle and it hits him in his chest and explodes inside the car... then, THAT look on HIS face was indeed the most priceless look of the event. Then a funny thing happened in that brief instant before he passed completely so I could no longer see the HOLY F*CK THIS IS MY MOMS CAR look on his pathetic little face... his buddy driving the car put the pedal to the metal and sped off like I just through an stick of dynamite behind their car and they wanted to drive out of the blast radius.
The moral of the story: Never f*ck with a guy holding a large delicious smoothie."
