I do not support the so-called Patriot Act.  Since it is now enacted, I do support strict adherance to its 'sunset' provision limiting the life of this draconian act. 

I am embarrased to be a human today, on a planet where the dominant free society enacts a law that virtually criminalizes immigrant status.  This exceeds the shame caused by Bush-the-former when he blocked HIV positive people from entering the US. 

What is going on?  Callers to Talk of the Nation on NPR are actually advocating torture for suspected terrorists.  What's even scarier is that such torture is the scheduled topic for today's show.
