[geeks] 4th Amendment Gone

[phoetoid]

Read about the patriot act at all?  there are some very interesting 
things that were STATED about it by DoD spokespeople, when in reality, 
the document actually says very different things. I wrote a long essay 
about if for my government class this year, it was a fun subjec to read 
about.....but made me pretty angry. I mailed my paper to my 
senators/representatives....nothing ever reply tho :(
