Comments on: No Remedy for Lack of Time http://unspun.us/social-issues/no-remedy-for-lack-of-time/ Just what the spin doctor ordered™ Thu, 05 Apr 2012 15:56:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Mike Hamilton http://unspun.us/social-issues/no-remedy-for-lack-of-time/comment-page-1/#comment-1697 Mike Hamilton Wed, 07 Dec 2005 09:08:42 +0000 http://unspun.us/?p=758#comment-1697 Welcome back Rick!<br /> It is unfortunate that the script kiddie world creates such problems. They have nothing better to do, which is sad to say the least, not to mention the fact that they use exploits created by far more talented people. I'm glad to see you back online.<br /> The dry spell of not having your blog to read was made even more stark in contrast to once again being able to read it. It is easy to start to think that open-mindedness and objectivity are completely lost in this country right now, and your blog reminds me that others out there see things going in the wrong direction.<br /> One of the problems that I have with the Patriot Act is that the assumption is that law enforcement is moral in and of itself. Our country was very much founded on the principal that government must be watched closely "By the People". Trusting law enforcement with the power that they are given in the Patriot Act is something that I find to be a huge conflict of interest for Americans. The Patriot Act opens up the capability for law enforcement to place evidence at the scene, especially given that the "Search and Seizure" component of the Bill of Rights is directly violated based on the fact that the Patriot Act allows retroactive warrants. This is absurd. The ends do not justify the means if our civil rights are comprimised in the process. Law enforcement exists "For the People" - for all citizens. The mere fact that our own government is telling us that they do not trust their own people is a real problem.<br /> Once again, welcome back and thanks for continuing to post! Sincerely, Mike Welcome back Rick!
