Something for the avid civil libertarians and relentlessly indignant lefties to ponder...you roundly pillioried Dubya for allegedly annhiliating the right to privacy with The Patriot Act ( a bit of legislation that nearly every congressional Democrat supported, by the way)...but in the age of Facebook and out-loud-cellphone conversations-in-public, is there any tattered semblance of privacy left?
Furthermore, does the federal government really possess the competence to do ANYTHING with the information that it might collect through said legislation?
Just a point to ponder, as Reader's Digest would say...
