In just 8 short years, we will have college grads that have never known life before the Patriot act - it is all they grew up with, so they have no idea what our liberties were like before it.
Meanwhile, you still have the hawks continuing to draw us into even more conflicts - McCain visit to Syria for example - I saw him interviewed upon his return and was sickened by the same, tired saber-rattling ... For a guy that spent time in a tiger box as a POW he surely has never seen a war he didn't like.

it is a shame that schools ignore certain things-just saw a sixth grade class teacher showed 'saw', good move teach! i always made sure to have books, etc, and talk to my kids about things that school couldn't teach. my three are seething just like i am about all this. we're all history nuts...and many aren't. but, history can teach us so much, such as if people had paid attention years ago when i said 'remember the alien and sedition acts?' and got funny looks.
and mccain and his visit-what a joke!!
