The top story on the Kitsap Sun site today is about meth addiction. Hell, half the people in this county can't spell Habeas Corpus, let alon know what it is or why we should be afraid of it being taken away.

It's too bad it is soooooo beautiful over here or I would want to leave. But it is, so I stay.

Me, I'm still on the fence over what rights should be applied to resident aliens and visiting, non-diplomatic foreign nationals. I see risk, and I see a need to extend the freedoms and rights we enjoy to those who would move here, but I just don't know for sure.

I do know that I am on board with those who feel this is a dangerous step toward reversal for citizens in the instances of certain types of crimes, and that is the next step to abolition of those rights completely, so I'm torn.

I do know that it is an issue that should require more than just a couple of months debate in our congress.

(ironically, I spelled Habeas Corpus wrong at first. I feel like a tool)
