anyone catch this yesterday?

Pentagon to Detail Troops to Bolster Domestic Security

"There are critics of the change, in the military and among civil liberties groups and libertarians who express concern that the new homeland emphasis threatens to strain the military and possibly undermine the Posse Comitatus Act, a 130-year-old federal law restricting the military's role in domestic law enforcement."

for domestic security? what the hell is this? exactly how many steps is it from "domestic security" to "martial law"? i'm certainly not a conspiracty nut, but all it will take is somebody to do something stupid, and then, then we have problems... doesn't anybody study history anymore? am i the only one who sees how dangerous this is?

Michelle Obama was right about one thing, Barack will never let our lives go back to normal.

I hope tin foil is cheap...

So when the next Sept 11th rolls around are you going to be crying about these 20,000 troops?

The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so injured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

Sorry, you reminded me of that line...
I'm one of those annoying guys that can carry on an entire conversation using only quotes from movies...
