Though nine of ten threads here lately

breathlessly describe the horrors of the surveillance story, and how it's the most egregious thing ever imposed upon the American people, when i posted a thread asking 'who wants to see impeachment' my thread got almost immediately removed. Before that happened though it got five responses, all from people who seemed to be against the notion of impeachment, as of course I am too. The individual who initiated the removal implied that I favored impeachment, though my post never said anything about my opinion, which is that this is much ado about almost nothing, all things considered. I posted it in an attempt to measure the level of seriousness of those many who are posting anti-Obama pieces here.

branches of government, I don't think that it would be an effective tool to solve the problem.

Ha ha.
I do also think it is much ado about nothing, as it's all the government, all branches, and both parties, and all based on the people. They do want to give up all rights, all common sense, the constitution, and privacy, for the sake of ... security.
They want to feel ... "safe".
And yet there is no such thing. You are never safe.
So, it matters not that the don't even think you should have the right to say ... i m p e a ... etc.
It only matters that it really won't happen anyway.
