I agree totally. Our freedoms are being taken away from us at a frightening rate. And the worst part os it, I don't feel any safer than I did two years ago. The question is not if there "is" going to be another terror attack here in this country but "when" and all I can say is that I live in a good part of the country. I know that it sounds terrible to say, but what else can we do. Like Lakjaw said that they issue these terror warnings and it is like they issue them just to frighten people. I feel so helpless to protect my family and really there is not much a person can do. Yes you can stay alert and watch people for suspicious activity. That will only get you so far. Back to the point, our civil liberties are disappearing, and for what? I don't feel any safer. I'm sure that I'm not alone.
It is just a bad world we live in and I don't se it getting any better anytime soon. Sorry DB for the off topic post. I felt like I had to get my two cents in.
