Tom,

All this rancour sounds too much like the old Hippy adage, "Big Brother is watching you" silliness. Personally, I am more than happy that such things as the Patriot Act is functioning since it is a proper application, albeit not to be acknowledged by those involved, of the doctrine of Total Depravity. Yes, there are evil and wicked people on this earth who would destroy others with no remorse. It also smacks of the anti-American sentiment which is quite prevalent among the leftists that reside here in Canada. It is a known fact that there are some terrorist groups residing in O Canada and who have infiltrated the U.S. from here, despite Cretian's constant denial of the facts. Given the mentality of Canadians in general and the liberal political milieu in particular, Canada is a virtual safe-haven for terrorists, drug-dealers, purveyors of child pornography, murderers, etc.

Now, if you are really concerned about your privacy, then perhaps a deserted, remote island in the North Atlantic might be more to your liking? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" />

In His Grace,
