So the patriot act is done. Does that mean that global security is done? There will be a number of people from the security "intelligence" and "big data" that might be out of a job soon. What does these mean for the NNSA labs?
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples.

In case you have not noticed we are at war. We cannot afford to have every whimsical comfort and tolerate anything and everything. In these times it is no longer just about "you" and what makes "you" happy. We all have to give up some freedoms in order to insure that we will have any freedom at all in the long run. Freedom is not a right and as we have seen in recent times it can be abused. Our enemies see what is becoming of us just how depraved and lazy we have become. We are so self-absorbed that we let slip a law that may very well have prevented many 9-11s. Why do you care about the patriot act? Do you have something to hide?

This is the classic response of dictatorial, totalitarian regimes. Why should any innocent citizen fear having his government know absolutely everything about his life? After all, we know that the government, and all its employees, are nothing but trustworthy, honest, and ethical.

Way to keep the discussion civil. Why do liberals always resort to name-calling?

Everyone is "easy pickins" on an anonymous blog. To you, I guess there is no shot too cheap to take. So sorry for your disability.
