I'm still bewildered in the wilderness, stunned that Democrats gave GWB more surveillance powers.
This week on Larry King, Bill Maher said that the democrats hated the surveillance thing so much that they legalized it.

I've e-mailed my Rep and Senator to voice my dismay--I recommend frequent contact with those folks. They may not listen to one voice, but they will listen to thousands.
To be honest, I've given up a while ago. We know for a fact that most people just don't pay enough close attention to details like this for them NOT to vote again for these reps. I admit that I watch a lot of news and that I have my radios on almost 24/7 tuned to news stations. Of course I don't expect other people to do the same. What really dismays me, however, is when I talk to someone else about something they've been talking about on the news for the last 2 weeks and the person has no idea what the hell I'm talking about.
Take the tsunami in the south pacific that killed tens and tens of thousands of people. You know what I'm talking about. I remember about a week and a half after the news first came out I mentioned it to a group of people in a church I was at and they all just gave me a blank stare.
