Well, they're a pretty busy bunch. You might have some scheduling conflicts.

Once a barrier is crossed, it's far more difficult to set it back up. It also means that there's one less barrier protecting you. I have never seen both left and right wing government watch dog groups so alarmed about civil rights as they are right now.

Hey, all you conspiracy theorists!!! Do you think that the current "crisis" with terrorists and anthrax could be another orchestration to bring about the creation of a global police state?? (That was the reason behind the Great Depression, both World Wars, the rise and fall of Communism, and every major European war of the 19th century, ya know!)
