of bullots and ballots

The twisting in the moral wind going on in the United States is becoming more and more complicated with each passing day.

There is now a lot of finger pointing going on directed at past Democrats who have signed similiar orders. Of particular interest is Jamie Gorelick, Deputy Attorney General, who said in 1994 that the President "has inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches for foreign intelligence purposes."

The ethical dance that is going on is making me believe more and more that it's going to be revealed soon that a few of these wiretaps are going to be revealed as politically motivated.

For the longest time, many people have thought of me as paranoid, and perhaps they were right. As time passes, I'm finding myself more and more, not paranoid, but justifiably cautious.

I think we may be seeing the end of the era of fear, either that, or we're at the beginning of something new, something even more frightening than before. Once the polls come in, if Americans decide that they don't mind illegal wiretaps in the interest of "security" we may find ourselves irrevocably on a path to the dark side that can't be detoured.
