"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

While often we don't agree, I really enjoy the Popehat people. I like the thinking in this post. An excerpt: “When the government and its supporters invoke "terrorism!", they often want to avoid three questions: (1) what evidence is there that this situation has anything to do with terrorism? (2) How will this power you are seeking actually reduce the danger of terrorism? (3) Have you supplied evidence showing that the need to fight terrorism is sufficient, under established constitutional law, to justify this particular infringement of rights?”
