A government big enough to give you everything you want is powerful enough to take everything you have.

Imagine: You?ve never been charged with any crime, yet the government blacklists you as a terrorism threat and bans you from flying indefinitely. You?re separated from family members, can?t get to weddings or funerals or religious obligations, and lose jobs because you can?t travel or your employer finds out you?re blacklisted.
You know what the government has done violates your constitutionally protected ability to travel and to be free from false stigma. You have rights ? the Constitution guarantees due process. So you ask the government for its reasons and evidence, as well as a live hearing to establish your credibility and innocence. In response, the government says it put you on the No Fly List because it predicts that you might commit a violent terrorism act in the future, but it won?t tell you all the reasons why or give you any evidence or the hearing you seek.

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

When we started giving up our freedom for security we were DONE!
The so called "Patriot Act" is one of the top 5 worse things ever done to Americans.

Looks like you got the point real well. [:(]
