| Message | How can people support this with no definition of extreme circumstances? If they were defined I'd still oppose, but I'd at least accept that other people may agree. As it is, this bill is the whole beef people have with stuff like the Patriot act. Who's going to define extreme, exactly? Will it just be defined based on a whim? Maybe I'll make that secession suggestion a serious proposal, if Jakania is to become a police state as well. Quasi-military police and undefined and unrestricted power of the government to breach individual rights and privacy. Sounds fun. |
