Which freedoms would you surrender to feel safer? Would surrender all freedom?


My personal opinion is no, but I want to know what others would do.

I see lots of questions on here along the lines of "if I marry a US citizen, do I automatically become a citizen too?" and "If my baby is born in the US, how long until I automatically become a citizen?"

Wouldn't it make sense to have public service announcements clarifying the law? I'm thinking of something along the lines of Michigan's anti-drunk driving public announcements (which offers a "free ride in a cop car, and an all expense paid stay in jail" in the tones of an "as seen on TV" ad... but that's not all...)

So, would this deter illegal aliens? Or would they scoff at it?

the SECOND sentence in the article states "Rush Limbaugh blasted the report as a product of administration sabotage."

Rush's opinion gets second sentence.

The THIRD sentence is "And Democrats were accusing the president of being a flip-flopper."

Is this a "fair and balanced way" of starting off the article?

Iran and N.Korea were the axis of evil till yesterday ; now they become peace loving nuclear tea- totalers. Is it not flip flopping at its best or political expediency?

Poor Hillary! if she resonates in trying to keep pace with these changing frequencies, where do they leave her ?When asked about such frequent changing perceptions, will she be not advised to hold back her comments, even if they are assertively asked by her colleagues at the ensuing Democratic Debates.

My Father passed away on Nov. 18th we buried him the day before Thanksgiving. Yesterday I recieced a phone call from a woman claiming to be handling his will. She informed me that I was in his will. I snaped that "I know that." I told her that Dad's will had not even gone into Probate yet! She asked me for my date of birth!I told her that I wouldn't give that information over the phone. She then asked for my address and like a fool I gave it to her! Can she get any important information from me because of address? I am worried, should I be? Dad was 90 years old so I think people like her would figure that his Children would be seniors.
I called my brother who told me that The lawyers had told him that we should nerver give any information whatsoever and I gave this Lady my address so she could send me papers or so she claimed.

The plan announced by President Bush Thursday to freeze interest rates on some subprime mortgage loans will do nothing to stave off foreclosure for the vast majority of families facing the loss of their homes in the coming months.

I am not talking about President Bush. Only the office and title. Do you believe that we are placing an unhealthy emphasis on the office of President? Do you believe that more power should be given to the House and Senate? Would the American people be better off?

Yes, I'm talking about Gays. I don't think it's the place of Government to choose who can and who can't get married, especially when some religions (Presbyterians, Methodists) have Gay Marriage cermonies.
_I'm not a Presbyterian or a Methodist BTW, I just accept their right to be free of Government constraints. Freedom of Religion.

This question is built off a question I saw in Religion and Spirituality... I think it should be asked here.
