The Return of the Patriot
As a rule, sequels are generally worse than their originals, and the new Patriot Act redux is downright awful. What the heck is this crap? I can’t help but think of Philip K. Dick’s Pre-crime in Minority Report when I read this stuff about DNA databases and potential intent. Retinal scans don’t seem like sci-fi anymore.

I saw this morning that Bin Laden has resurfaced and is spitting game again, threatening not only the US but anyone that allies with our country and its religions. In this global terror reality, the US needs to be making friends. Lots and lots of friends. Our crew needs to roll very deep. How can you fight a battle against international terrorism when you are pissing off all your trusted and long time allies and alienating yourself in the international community, while at the same time, alienating your own citizenry with Patriot Acts and political bulling. Our administration is surfing a wave of fear and putting together horrible rhetoric and policies for the creation of a paranoid future. Watch your back kid, this is truly ugly stuff.
