    At first when the patriot act made it legal for anyone to be detained at anytime for any(or no) very little commotion was put up as it was only used on small numbers of people, of middle-eastern descent, a few of whom may actually have been involved in terrorist organizing. The problem with making this kind of thing legal is that it inevitably spreads. Its too late to stop the Patriot act now, and as this article shows, they seem to be escalating its use(although they are still, apparently, trying to keep it largely confined to people of South-Asian descent)

    Rich people of any ethnicity in any country allways seem to be able to buy a few extra rights. Dont pin that on us. Its allways been like that.

    clockwood,
    thats true, but hardly justifys it.
    In any case this treatment seems to be less class based and more race based...rich well off South-Asians are far more likely to be mistreated in this way than poor white folks.

    The whole world needs a good saving but lets not bother god. Currently he has a full plate and shouldnt be bothered unecessarily. He will do what needs to be done when he is good and ready.

    We should fix worldly problems ourselves if at all feasable.
