Hear All Sides
Okay, since John Williams is the center of so many politically charged Americans, I figured why not start a blog that lets his friends and family members argue with each other in a safe and equitable place. I figure, at least, we all don't have to get mass emails blasted, at most, we can create a dynamic place for our own brand of political debate and discourse. So, World of John Williams, are you up for it?

Civil Liberties vs. Security
Here's a quote from a dissenter of the Patriot Act...
"We need to be more vigilant," agreed Sen. John Sununu, a Republican from New Hampshire, where the state motto is "Live Free or Die." He quoted Benjamin Franklin: "Those that would give up essential liberty in pursuit of a little temporary security deserve neither liberty nor security."
Bold statement which characterizes our GeoPolitical situation. In the Nuclear Age however, I'm not sure if Mr. Franklin's statement holds up to scrutiny. What good is Freedom, if you and everyone you know cease to exist.

Now we know how the Swifties got the information used against political opponents in the pre 2004 elections. If you were arrogant enough to think you could be above the law by spying on innocent Americans, would you not also use that intel for political reasons. Duh!!
