[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1435926, member: 7123"] It's definitely a good thing, on balance. They may be sloooowly coming to recognizing it for what it is - a fundamental, incredibly important, civil constitutional right. So so long it never extends to ILLEGAL aliens, then I say by all means, yes. Absolutely, yes. We most certainly are NOT in a state of war. The so-called "war on terror" was, is, and will always be a farce of the highest order, from the get-go. Wars are declared by Congress and have definable goals and criteria for ending. This farce has neither. If it IS a war, then it's an Orwellian perpetual war, because there will ALWAYS be "terror". You can't eliminate "terror" from the earth any more than you can eliminate cockroaches. The politicians of course would love nothing more than a perpetual war, and the media has now for almost 10 years given them precisely what they wanted, because they have bought in hook, line, and sinker to this phrase and concept that is nonsensical and frankly impossible [I]ab initio.[/I] The mainstream media, on the whole, is incredibly stupid and can be manipulated incredibly easily - that's one thing we've learned from this supposed "war on terror" - not to mention the common man and woman ..... but I digress. Not that I personally have a big problem with shooting *illegal* aliens as they try to come across the border - I don't. But they are illegal, not legal. [/QUOTE]
