Dear Matt, Trite and to the point---it is "crystal clear" your view about the STATE and their powers for "Smart" good and "Dumb" evil.
<"To me, avoiding support for policies proven to improve bicycling because they are objectionable to the "we want a government you can drown in a bathtub" crowd is basically signing on to live CONSTRAINED by their agenda. . . .">Matt But when does your STATE become Orwellian in the extreme? Isn't it "the way of the beast" to expand in the way described below---and this is just the beginning.----------- READ THIS: "Through the use of NSLs," Judge Marrero wrote, "the government can unmask the identity of internet users engaged in anonymous speech in online discussions. It can obtain an itemized list of all the e-mails sent and received by the target of the NSL, and it can then seek information on individuals communicating with that person. It may even be able to discover the websites an individual has visited and queries submitted to search engines." (Emphasis added.) And it has been able to do this in total secrecy. . . .Marrero warned of "the tragic ill- effects" that have been felt "in the wake of the courts' yielding ground to other branches of government on the constitutional role the judiciary must play in protecting the fundamental freedoms of the American people. . . ." < http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0744,hentoff,78210,2.html> _________ This Judge is just one trying to defend the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Only Ron Paul talks about these fundamental issues to Americans and that is why he is in a "groundswell against all odds." And Matt, if "CONSTRAINING" the STATE and protecting the "rights" which built this country from STATE MANDATED CANCELLATION is in your mind a weak-kneed stance by, in your words----(those who) "want a government you can drown in a bathtub"-- the Orwellian vision is much closer than we can imagine. One would think that the past seven years has seen a STATE, "UNCONSTRAINED" enough?
