Dirty Greek - Patriot Act Additions

Then let me hear no more of our kind's natural necessity to form hierarchical groups. An observer viewing human life shortly after cultural takeoff would easily have concluded that our species was destined to be irredeemably egalitarian except for distinctions of sex and age.

The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee is working on a bill that would renew the Patriot Act and expand government powers in the name of fighting terrorism, letting the
FBI subpoena records without permission from a judge or grand jury.

Well, good.

Also, I'm getting the feeling this is all some sort of joke. Did you know that the administration's pro-Patriot Act website is lifeandliberty.gov? Does Dick read 1984 and say "hey, neocons! Here's our next idea!"

Here's something cute from that website:

The Patriot Act limits domestic terrorism to conduct that breaks criminal laws, endangering human life. "Peaceful groups that dissent from government policy" without breaking laws cannot be targeted.

REALLY? Look down one post.
