I remember when Kucinich was asked why he didn't hop in line and vote for the PATRIOT ACT (fucked up name btw), and he replied because he read it. When the follow up was about why he read it and he replied that it was his job to do so. He was also against the Bush wars, so of course he got primaried. The boys at the top, they don't like waves.

Oh yeah, the Patriot act was the biggest victory any terrorists could've hoped to gain over the US. People still get offended when I say that our modern security state means the terrorists, at least to some extent, won. They destroyed an important part of the fabric of our society.
