Under What Circumstances Should Our Civil Liberties Be Comprised?

sumpter @sumpter (214) • United States 30 Aug 08

I do not think any circumstance grants a government to restrict our civil liberties. Once that is done, which It has, we tread on difficult territory. What will stop the government from going further into our personal lives. This...

xxclairexxj @xxclairexxj (590) 4 Nov 06

Would be a good idea? I do! I think anyone who didn't want one must have a reason. That reason can't be good. It's not infringing on civil liberties as far as I'm concerned. I think they could protect people. If they had a finger...
