Give up freedoms for the promise of a crime free state ... I don't think so. Give up something millions have died for for a piece of Pie in the Sky ... or to put it another way: selling your birthright for a mess of pottage. I think that your American cousins are way ahead of you guys on this one. Many Americans, particularly the ones in power, would like to see the end of the ACLU, but they are a great conscience. Sure people could argue that safeguards will be in place, but who guards the guardians?
