Patriot Act II is becoming law piece by piece

Wednesday June 23, 2004 at 11:40 am

You may have heard about Patriot Act II, dubbed "Son of Patriot Act" by its critics, which was shelved after the public outcry that it caused once it became public. This was about one year ago, but Patriot Act II isn't dead. In fact, its supporters are sneaking provisions from the shelved legislation into other laws in order to surreptitiously get them signed into law before anyone notices. So, piece by piece, Patriot Act II is becoming law, further eroding our civil liberties and rapidly making America a police state.

You can see some of the details of this plot in this article from Wired News.

I am an aspiring novelist and a writer at heart who finds cathartic relief in every word penned, whether it be digitally or otherwise. I am an avid reader consumed with devouring the written word. I am an amateur photographer who believes a camera represents one of the greatest tools we can keep at the ready. I am a naturalist and tree hugger. I am a cat fanatic, a simple ape whose every breath hinges on the satisfaction of The Kids, seven cats responsible for untold compassion and understanding and happiness, not to mention a great deal of drama, abuse, and slavery to which I subject myself just so demanding predators can remain content. I am a human who appreciates the complexities of the cosmos, the fallacies of faith, the soundness of science, the misanthropy of aware minds, and the cataclysm of politics. I am me, a simple man with complex thoughts and a complex man living a simple life, someone trying to make my way through the universe without causing too much pain to others along the way.
