Eh, anarchy for all, I say. posted by: soontobev (reply) post date: 06.24.04 (2:56 pm) Reply to: JessxM My biggest fear about the recent court decision isn't just having to state your name. I worry that it will open the door for more serious violations of rights. Once someone has to tell the police their name...it the court might decide there is no harm in having to tell the police their address....or why there were at the scene of the crime...or any number of other questions. In my mind I link this to the partial birth abortion issue. It's not that I think partial birth abortions are a good thing....but banning them makes it that much easier to ban all forms of abortion...which gets us closer to banning the morning after pill...etc. Unfortunately, policy comes in waves and steps...so the way the tide is turning can be very ominous before the wave actually hits us. Does that make sense? Kinda? -2cents posted by: GreenEyedGrrl (reply) post date: 06.24.04 (8:22 pm) Good point. posted by: LittleMrMahatma (reply) post date: 06.25.04 (7:01 am) What you're describing is a classic salesman technique called 'foot in the door'. If you can get your foot in the door then you can get the rest of your body in and close the sale. Kind of like how our Government is slowly leaning more Right until, 20 years from now, Bush will look like Liberal...scary eh? posted by: GreenEyedGrrl (reply) post date: 06.25.04 (7:31 pm) Reply to: LittleMrMahatma very scary...... |
