Where do we draw the line between freedom and security? After the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, people thought that we had to give up rights in order to protect our freedoms. Even radicals agreed on this. The Patriot Act was passed and now we see that the government has gone too far.
We have constantly been bombarded with the news that the U.S. Government has been asking telecoms to hand over records of calls made in their networks. Although some companies like Qwest have denied the government access to their data, many telecoms like AT&T and Verizon have agreed to give the government their records.
I should stop calling my shady connections in the Middle East now. I'm going back to using a can and string for my communications.

Finally, a humane solution that both Democrats and Republicans can agree on. No more pro-life or pro-choice bandwagons, we have found a solution. The "Last Morning Ever Pill."
This pill allows a woman with an undesirable child to die, while the fetus lives on. Luckily, the procedure is not painful for the mother or the fetus. If a woman has a baby, "a near lethal dose of barbiturates is released [by the pill], which induces a coma in the expectant mother until the child is born, at which point a second, fatal dose is released."
If rape or incest led to pregnancy, you shall not have to deal with the shame and embarrasment. You end your problems and your child lives on.
Watch-out, in-laws everywhere are beginning to buy this pill. So wait a while before taking drugs from them.
