And the Timothy Mc Veigh's? or the Major Hasan's?

You can NEVER be safe from terrorism. :nope:

Not that I am considering Hasan a terrorist.

Nobody can be safe from a lone killer like McVeigh but there wasn't a group or organization that put him up to it either.

Exactly my point.. If your nation is about freedom... then there are risks... Even criminals have a level of rights.. May not be right but hey...

Ether practice freedom or become fanatics under a police state.

The way I see it soon you all be wearing GPS dog tags or anal probs.... :hmmm: Big brother is watching.. :yeah:

Just curious, why are the two extremes the only choices?

Because nothing is normal anymore... if there was ever such a thing... :D

Could there be a middle ground? Maybe... I haven't seen it.. Too much chaos.

Sure you have. Not having the freedom to yell "Fire!" does not turn you into a slave of the state.

I have yet to see that happen.. ;) But most people don't want to loose there comfort zone... As long as they think there immune to the global events nothing will change.
