Section 213 of the Patriot Act allows government agents to search any one's home, using probable cause issued by a "secret court" whether he/she is a terrorist suspect or not. They can search the private property and not tell or deliver a warrant to the suspect until a "reasonable time" has passed after the search.

What do you think?
Does this infringe on our Fourth Amendment rights?

In some countries which have laws on racial equality, affirmative action is rendered illegal by a requirement to treat all races equally.

This approach of equal treatment is sometimes described as being "race-blind", in hopes that it is effective against discrimination without engaging in reverse discrimination.

In such countries, the focus tends to be on ensuring equal opportunity and, for example, targeted advertising campaigns to encourage ethnic minority candidates to apply to open jobs etc. This is sometimes described as "positive action", as opposed to "positive discrimination".

So is it time for the USA to catch up to the rest of the world?

Harris, 22, who is serving time on a burglary conviction at Wabash Valley state prison in Carlisle, has been charged with battery and is accused of tattooing "KATIE'S REVENGE" across Anthony Ray Stockelman's forehead.

Harris told prison officials the attack was in revenge, according to an affidavit.

Stockelman is serving a life sentence after pleading guilty to abducting, molesting and killing the fourth-grader, who lived about 70 miles south of Indianapolis. She was missing for five days before her body was found Jan. 30, 2005, in a creek about 15 miles from her home.

Twelve years ago I was employed at a defense contractor
and had a secret security clearance. I tested positive for marijuana and was fired. I didn't smoke regularly and have not smoked since then. I have been employed as a truck driver ever since and have passed numerous drug tests. I now have the opportunity to work for another defense contractor and they will hire me regardless of the positive test "IF" I am able to get a secret clearance again.
Anybody, do you think i'll be able to get one?
