Will we get the response or comments from "my country love or leave- U.S. 
can't do anything wrong. officials would never violate civil rights or existing 
laws" types   that Carl suggests- probably but then it is time to inject common 
sense once more back into life. 

some thoughts  on reality----

trying stop terrorism?  not even.... threats  are virtually non-existant and 
the concept of using an almanac is just plain stupid- the pirpose of the 
warning was to create fear in individuals to permit intervention and security 
efforts that violate law.  a telephone book is more useful and just driving around 
is better yet.  15 minutes of work and information is gathered.  the hype and 
hysteria is setting up martial law scenarios as desired and practiced for 
years since clinton and gore and reno wrote the directives and had military start 
practicing intervention rechniques.  and if you look at who is practicing 
terrorism by DOJ definition - it is actually some of our own military and law 
enforcement   

created fear = need for solution = permitted violations of civil rights 
because everyone who would speak up is scared by design.  

ain't it nice when a plan comes together?
