Sites Holmquist trys, and often fails, to go no more than a couple of days without visiting (some of which Holmquist regularly swipes links from without attribution)
Do read the entire post but keep in mind that civil liberties have long been in decline in this country and September 11 only accelerated this process.
On a more pessimistic note my guess is that we aren't going to see a groundswell of public opposition to the draconian aspects of the "war on terror" until their is widespread opposition the war's functions outside of the U.S. and/or law enforcement goes too far and starts hampering the freedom of lots of people who don't deviate from the cultural, political and religious norms of this country and who do not belong to a racial or ethnic group that is associated with terrorism.
Hopefully I'm wrong because I don't see either of those elements happening in the near future. posted by micah holmquist at 9/12/2002 11:30:00 AM
