Your reproduction of my initial comment reads terribly. Thank You FEE as representing yourself as a place to express (quotation mark) our thoughts (close quotation mark)in a forum free of bias. I almost believed that economics was a branch of science that could not be altered by government policy. I appreciate your inference to the contrary.

(read appeasement) I am in complete agreement with the unalterable truths contained within the writ of habeas corpus. I agree that the perils to liberty are \\"great and many\\" as is stated above. Yet the greatest peril lies within those who understand our man-made policies of liberty yet plan on circumventing said \\"truisms\\" by using those very same truisms as their means to create a scenario wherein those truths no longer exist. Where lies the greater danger pray tell?.....Does it lie within those who would use our liberty as a means to achieve an end to our liberty? (read \\"whatever it is we have left) Or does it lie within those who strive to protect our unique form of liberty at the expense of those who deem themselves above and beyond certain unalienable human truths? Tough questions !!! I have nothing left to say as I fully understand (yet refuse to accept) the double standard that exists in the present.
