Yeah, I think it could happen again. It could happen soon. As for the "Black List", how about a "No Fly List"?

I like to follow that one up with one of my favourite quotes, from Benjamin Franklin:

Quote:

They that would give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Of course McCarthyism is happening. Look at the Patriot Act, the proposed Patriot Act II, Operation Liberty Shield, and the government constantly blaming al-Qaida because they honestly don't know who did any of the terrorist attacks.

I really see the present atmosphere as more sweeping and dangerous then the Commie Witch hunts of Joe McCarthy. The over the top Nationalism displayed by far too many people is really a rejection of dmocratic princiables.

It's in bad taste to make that sort of post. And, since you made it public, it just looks silly to be putting someone on ignore because they politely expressed a disagreement about this issue.

It wasn't from this thread, but from elsewhere and he wouldn't read his PM. I just wanted to let him know that he was wasting his time. It seems that you are making it your goal in life to be an ass in regards to what I post. Get a life.

Well, obviously, Jat wont be reading this. I just find it funny because all I did was attack his argument. I also like how, he made a point to say lalalalalalala I cant here you.
