Big Brother getting Bigger... again...

I don't want to "stir the pot" and invoke a bunch of emotions, but I would gladly give up some privacy to still see the World Trade Center standing in New York.

Nice try, but in fact you went directly for "invoking a bunch of emotions" with that statement. Too bad it's a non sequitur.

The proposed black box in 2008 model cars have nothing to do with 9/11 or terrorism. You know that.

Far be it from me to trivialize one of the worst days in the history of our country byt

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.

Ben Franklin said it, not I...

There are plenty of other countries around the world who will happily take your freedom in exchange for security. Please leave the one founded on NOT doing that alone for those of us who like it the way it is/was.

Ah yes, Benjamin Franklin...a truly great American, and a Philadelphian to boot!

I suspect however, that if Mr. Franklin returned to the Country he co-founded today, an entirely new set of famous quotes may be attributed him.

Such classics as:

"HOLY ********************! WHAT THE F**K HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE? "

"THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT WHAT WE HAD IN MIND!"

and, of course

"HEY! LOOK ON TV! IS THAT CHICK NAKED!?!?!"
