33. The Boston Tea Party was symbolic and to the O.P where do you draw the line to reverse course?

But speaking of pragmatism, I know that some of the following suggestions may sound extreme to the holier than thou liberals; who believe they're the only ones in love with the Constitution but they sound pragmatic to me.

I believe we should be pragmatic to the point of putting cameras in every dwelling, that should help eliminate terrorism in it's tracks.

As a pragmatic solution, I believe the prison industry and camera industries could help subsidize the cost as they would profit from the expected increase in prisoners and sales of video bugging equipment.

As another hidden pragmatic benefit this would insure virtually everyone's safety and well being as government could watch us around the clock, if some elderly person falls down and isn't able to get up, the government could call 9/11 for assistance.

I do wonder about Bob Barr though, did he leave the Republican Party and join the Libertarians because he wasn't pragmatic?
