So the freedom of speech and assemby, should not be taken from us for a price. Now here's the oxymoron, if freedom is not for free, why is the word free in freedom? Did you think of that? No, I bet most of you didn't. You were duped like everyone else. Duped into believing that Bush is your commander & commander and chief, and freedom isn't for free. Now you don't have to be a bonobo to understand that, or even question it.

You hear that Domestic Eaves Dropping and Giving Up Our Rights helps the President fight the terrorists, but come on! In reality, the President not only has the right to determine if non-citizens should be held for years without trial or representation...or even communication with with family members, but American Citizens are subject to the same kind of treatment, and history proves that once you freely give up your rights to law enforcement, they rarely if ever give those rights back.

Now remember this, if you are under arrest for mistaken identity, say an environmentalist or protester at the 2004 Republican Convention in New York City, your family will not be allowed to know where you are or speak to you; you will not have the right to an attorney, which is clearly provided in our constitutions's 5th amendment; you will not have a trial and you can be held indefinitely. And it's the President, not the law, that decides whether or not to let you go, or get a fair trial, and you do not have the right to challenge who your accuser is, even if the accusation is based on false evidence.
