Its just mind-boggling to me that people have bought so far into a man--that hasn't even done anything yet--that we might see our Constitution thrown to the wayside. I'm young, and admittedly unable to grasp what could come of our country if this is the case, but I feel that it is impossible to over exaggerate the impact. I would hate to think all the worst-case, conspiracy theory outcomes could actually come true in my lifetime.

For Americans war is almost all of the time a nuisance, and military skill is a luxury like Mah-Jongg. But when the issue is brought home to them, war becomes as important, for the necessary period, as business or sport. And it is hard to decide which is likely to be the more ominous for the [terrorists] -- an American decision that this is sport, or that it is business.
