"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it." Thomas Jefferson
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves." (William Pitt, 1783)
The system we have in place works. The only problem is that Bush doesn't want to be accountable to anyone. Unlimited powers, unrestrained by laws, seem to be Bush's presidential ideals. I grieve for my country and hope that come November we will regain our checks and balances.
