Not being under an umbrella of suspicion because you fit THIS pamphets prophile.
Just what the heck are you talking about? The right to "be yourself" and "feel"? I got news for you. The Constitution doesn't guarentee you
the right to "feel" anything. The right to "Be yourself"? What the heck does that mean? Sounds like some esoteric new-age hippy crap left over
from the 60's. Be yourself? From what I've read on these boards you are
plenty yourself......

The right to be told the truth by your government ? (even semi truths would do)
The right to walk down the street without Big Brother or who knows, the thought police stalking you?
You are all over the road. I want to know what your problem is with an official public safety office trying to disseminate helpful hints to law
enforcement personnel and the general public, in an effort to defeat domestic terrorism and those who support it?
Lemme guess, you were one of those people the were yelling "Why isn't our government protecting us!" right after 911, right? Yet, when good people
try to do the right thing a put out a product that is designed to protect people (albeit a badly designed and worded one), you cry "foul!" and
"invasion of privacy!". Well, which is it? You want privacy, or you want the government to try to protect us?
I got news for you. Cops look at you all the time. Even to local yokels on The Cape. You are just another potential criminal to be watched. What
do you think is going through the mind of the cop sitting in his cruiser when you roll by him? It isn't "Gee, there goes another law abiding
citizen whom I won't bother because she deserves her privacy as guarenteed under the Constitution". Wake up! You have been watched by you local,
state and federal government from the day you were issued an SSN and went to your first day of school.

The priviledge to pay for gas and eat both in the same day....
I think you get the hint.
Let me know if that is not enough.
Ya, well gas is getting expensive, isn't it. Kinda blows the whole "We invaded Iraq for oil" theory up into little pieces. I find it ironic that
a Texas oil man president is fading in his approval ratings because he can't control the price of oil AND he must work to keep his fat cat oil
cronies who supported him happy.
Terrorism and force protection were here long before we invaded Iraq, and it will be with us long after we have pulled out, and long after GWB is out
of office.
No, I don't get the hint. Your dissatisfaction with GWB, the war in Iraq, and the price of oil have NOTHING to do with good people trying to protect
the lives of Americans within our own borders. Bitch all you want about the causal factors, but save it for another thread.
You rights are just as intact as they were 5 years ago. Stop whining.
