That's right. We all need to be as transparant as possible to our government, because they cannot be transparant to us.

Really, why should you be embarrased by the Dale Evans/Roy Rogers / Gabby Hayes thing you like to do in your bedroom?

It's all about terrorism!

6. Then I guess I'm unpatriotic
If I don't want someone digging through my underwear drawer, they don't get to. Not without a court order and probable cause. They don't get to dig through my underwear drawer becasue I don't want them to. That's all the reason I need.

Am I unpatriotic? Some would say yes. To them I say FU!

7. Nobody's Business
What goes on in my home, in my bedroom, on my phone, on the websites I visit, or whatever -- is nobody else's business. Somebody needs to send a copy of "1984" to Laura Bush and have her read it to her hubby.

8. "If you're not a terrorist, you have nothing to hide!"
Often spoken by those who completely miss the point.
