First, it's shocking that any American would make your argument. You're actually willing to trust government to hold people indefinitely, but to always get it right. Because there's no such thing as government error or abuse of power, right? You must not have been a congressional page. Second, the problem is in *proving* you're an American. It's hard to do that from a waterboard. The piece you're missing, besides the moral responsibility part, is that if you can't prove your citizenship you have ZERO RIGHTS. That means the government could hold you forever and you have no recourse. And let's say they did hold you, and tortured you. And then we took pity on you and lobbied for your release. The government would have to release you, but they'd owe you nothing and you'd have no recourse against them. Put another way, possession is 9/10ths of the law. Here are some rules of thumb for you: 1.) Give government nothing. 2.) Anything you give government will be used against you. 3.) Those who willingly give others the power to dominate them are fools and your enemy.* *Note - the exception to this rule is marriage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:217485 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
