When the Padilla \ Hamdi case came down from the Supreme Court, you saw a long and thoughtful explanation of what it was and what it meant? I did not. Most people RELY on the media to tell them these things, and if you do not know you have lost rights, how the hell do you expect that person to act?

Look true story... you remember when Patriot II was leaked, don't you?

Well that same day I went over to the game store for my memtoring of kids day and teaching them some crafts and shooting the breeze. I was doing that with a kid when I accidentally struck a conversation with his father. His father, unbeknowst to me, was a member of hte Hawaii legislature. So I emphazied what PA 2 had in store and all that. He reached for the paper. ZERO coverage

So I told him, tell you what I will go home, BURN a copy into a CD, bring laptop, and I will invite you coffee at starbucks and we can talk about it

This is a member of the state house, ok... he did not know that.

So we did that.

That led to Hawaii becomeing the fist state to basically refuse to enformce PA 1...

Point I am making is, 80% still rely on a media that is telling then either jack or shit, so we have to educate them... and stop blamig them
