I agree with the purpose of the Patriot Act. I feel that if lives are at stake due to terrorism, the government has an obligation to protect us. Even if some privacy is lost, I think we need to realize that we aren't giving up our freedom to speak freely, we are just allowing the government to listen in on what we say. Honestly, if you have something to hide, I think it's good for the government to record it.
Well said, it’s not like the government is restricting what you can say, they are just listening to what you say. P-|
