I feel the U.S patriot act is good becasue theirs a lot of secret, messed up things going on in this world and sometimes this is the only way to catch the people who plan on hurting this great country.  Before Osama Bin Laden was assasinated, the gov't was listening to our conversations and watching what we were doing and much more because their were people in this very country that were working with Bin Laden and the result was, we killed one of America's biggest enemies.  Becasue of this, we need to continue to allow the patriot act in order to weasel out the bad guys.

I agree with your post, Because if It wasn't for the government doing what they were doing then we would have been still having troubles and running around trying to find America's most wanted enemy.

I agree. Also if you aren't a criminal you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Even criminals don't have much to worry about lol, just terrorist.  If people they monitored and reported everyone breaking the law, many more people would be in jails/prisons.
