I agree, however, you missed one thing: The Constitution "provides" nothing, but it GUARANTEES your rights. I know it seems like splitting hairs, but so many people are under the false impression that they didn't have any rights before the Constitution granted them. YOU HAVE RIGHTS, PEOPLE, START EXERCISING THEM!!! a valid point regarding phrasing but in many instances people didn't have those civil rights before the constitution granted them. in fact in many parts of the world people don't have those civil rights now. yeah...now i'm splitting hairs. i agree exercise those civil rights.

trask- i don't see how tracking domestic passengers w/a background check improves security very much. it does create a system that allows the government to invade our privacy and diminish our civil rights. i find this disturbing. in order to live in this country and have the benefits our consititution provides, i am willing to assume a certain amount of risk. if the government wants to protect my physical well being then i would prefer that they improve security at the gate, luggage check and on the plane.

the whole thing "Airline Passengers: Background Check Jay Stanley Communications Director, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Monday, January 12, 2004; 1:00 PM The U.S. government plans to push ahead this year with a vast computerized system to probe the backgrounds of all passengers boarding flights in the United States. The government will compel airlines to hand over all passenger records for scrutiny by U.S. officials and passengers will be scored with a number and a color that ranks their perceived security threat. " i find this really disturbing. it seems wrong that i will have to have a background check in order to travel through out my home country.

who ya think? shee-it. skin pigmentation was inbred outta my family vine long time ago. i fukin burn at night. i tan like a marshmallow over the fire: white turns to toasty brown immediately followed by eruption into flames and drips of gooey ooze. i feel your pain. i'm damn near trasluscent. i think my pasty white arse nearly blinded the dude staring at last time i went to a nude beach. probably could use it to land planes at night

exactly

i'm not sure about the old people in locker rooms but i do know there's some scary folks wandering around the store in bothell.

what are you doing peeking in other people's dressing rooms?

spandex is a privilege not a right!

forgot my lunch went out had nummy spaghetti and good company

why not? it is a gun issue

sugar, i let that shit go YEARS ago! i just like to be contrary when it comes to trask

yeah and for every whore that does that to a man, there's another woman who married some shmo who ditches her and the kids for some betty down the road and doesn't pay his child support. see there is symmetry in the universe.

Glad the ACLU is doing this. Even Limbaugh deserves to have his civil rights protected. Right up until they throw his ass in jail.

apparently! homonyms are the scourge of my writing. i just can't write them right. UGGGGH!

hey this was actually an interesting thread until the topic of trask's body came up.

wow...i wondered what had happened when i drove past it. it's write across the street. yuk

i'm wearing a red bra and black panties and a blue dress. what does that say? i'm so confused

dr b...you're treading on thin ice.

awww trask, you say the sweetest things. when are we having lunch again?

i like flavored tofu just fine especially spicy. maybe it's the psychology of the concept, i don't like the flavor they use to make it taste like meat.

thanks trask. it was nice...lunch that is

despite my vegetarian ways, i have never learned to eat "fake/soy" meat. facon, soysage, fake burgers, tofurkey and the like don't taste like meat, they don't taste good at all.

rather ordinary and not as swedish as i used to look.

nope...sorry. i have the attention span of a gnat and lost full attention to this thread a page or so ago. hmmm...when i was in france some folks thought i was swedish and bought me a cup of coffee
