Many people seem to think that the recent ruling on warrant-less wiretaps will somehow help the terrorists. There is not an ounce of truth in this assertion, but I guess they only made those comments because they are not aware of the tools at the disposal of the president. There is such a thing as a "retroactive warrant." If you want to tap a phone (presumably to monitor a terrorist), you do not need to go to court to get a warrant, by which time you might have missed the call. You can tap the phone WITHOUT A WARRANT. However, you need to get a warrant at 72 hours AFTER the act at a special FISA court. That protects our liberties by not letting the government spy on law-abiding citizens, and also our security by not tying the government up in red tape so that it cannot protect us from terrorists. It's a win-win situation. The only reason for warrant-less wiretaps would be because the president wants extra-judicial power. So why do people want more than retroactive wiretapping?

I try to stay away from political issues on this site, but I have to say something now. I was changing planes in Dallas yesterday and during my wait time I went to the Admiral Club (American Airlines). They charge between $800.00 to $300.00 per year for admitance. AA makes the club available for free to anybody in iniform. Kudos to them. While there I saw a number of troops enjoying the quiet and comfortable conditions. I saw them look at the menu of food options. All grossly overpriced. None of them ordered anything. Why was I the ONLY one to offer to buy them lunch? Why was I the ONLY one to buy them a beer? I did. It cost me about $200.00. Big deal! Now I'm not asking about why we need troops, nor do I ask about what these troops are doing. All I care about is that these young men and women are risking their lives for US! How about a thank you? How about a pat on the back? As I looked around the Club at all the people that could simply buy them a beer, and didn't, I was disgusted

I wasn't meaning all rap music in my previous question, there are many rap artists who dont glamorize drugs, i was a big fan of run dmc and others. I do mean gansta rap, I believe that is even a genre of rap. Its true these rap artists are talking about a lifestyle they once new or a lifetyle that is very real anyway. But does that make it right? They all where the bling and go on about how much money theve made, and its true theres lots of money in drugs, but the downside is the suffering of the adicts and the the there familys. As far as it being the parents responsibilty to educate there kids, don't most kids rebel and do the opposite of what there parents say? The goverment has the power to show the real and nasty side of drug abuse, just like they do when they campaign agaist drink driving! But you don't see this with drugs! I think there is so much money in it even the goverment are corrupt!

How can you define it and have me accept it in society without introducing any influences of religious doctrine?
For example we know that murder is bad, but without the Ten Commandments why do we otherwise except this. The American morays and laws were based upon what the Puritans brought when founding the country. If we seperate the core belief system how do we validate a cultural norm?

I mean what are you essentially saying? "Guilty", I can understand that. "Not Guilty" I get that too. But "No Contest"? As in "I don't stand a chance! You call this a trial?! I'm screwed before this even got off the ground! I want my mom!"?
