    Maybe, if we,re really lucky and our legislators are fearful enough of our wrath-as they should be-we can forestall the very worst that they and their corporate panderers can do.

    But face it we're losers. Freedom's a loser. At least for the time being. Nobody but usual handful of nuts wants it, and even some of freedom's erstwhile pals have backpedaled, compromised, and started sounding like the people they hated three months ago.

    Still we can't give up the fight. Those of us who value freedom-truly value it-must go on making noise,demanding serious reductions in goverment reach and power, reminding politicians and everyone else that an America without freedom isn't really America. And above all, we'll go on living like people who expect and deservre freedom.

    there is no need to stop fighting... even the smallest number of people can make a difference... There is no giving up, if you give up, you are giving in. keep fighting the good fight.

    UK anti terrorism bill

    Perhaps we have had a minor effect here in the UK, as the upper house (effectively the Senate), has partially blocked the UK government's attempt to extend electronic surveillance beyond that of the RIP bill. The government here has agreed to a minor compromise on its proposal to require communication companies to keep records of all phone calls & all emails for 7 years. This can now only be done if there is "suspicion of terrorist activity" - deeply alarming that this was not even part of the original legislation. Mind you, who knows what that means in practise?
