We see our rights as Americans being eroded day after day by government and big business who craft their own interests into neat little law-worded wrappers to get slipped into law.Or, maybe some cleaver person hides a law deep in a bill (that is never fully read by congress) and we find out about it later when it's exercised. Bit by bit our freedoms are eroded and we don't seem to care because it was only a small thing, a very small thing. But as the old saying does "Each journey begins with a single step" and we've hit the road long ago and are a ways down it.We let semantics twist the intent of law,moving more and more away from it's original purpose with each ruling.This bill for example (http://politics.netscape.com/story/2007/01/17/congress-preparing-to-criminalize-critics-senate-bill-would-create-most-expansive/ ) is another step. Bush just fired 7 U.S. attorneys for no reason , who were investigating corruption,and replaced them. What will it take to wake up before it's 2 late?
