Re: What else can we do to Protect OUR 4th Amendment rights

Enjoyed your article and found that I agreed with it almost completely.   I\'m 74 and have seem enormous changes to America -- even more than you have.   An example: I was born in Arkansas and at that time there were no county roads. But when I was about 10, they started putting in roads and electric power lines. To put these graded dirt roads (it was many years more before they got a gravel top!) trees had to be cut and stumps had to be blown out of the way. My father was helping with that (not sure he got paid) and therefore, so was I. I loved dynamiting the stumps. Drill a hole, put a couple of sticks in it, light the fuse, run like hell and then watch that stump go sky high! Really great fun.   But today? No, absolutely no. Can you imagine what would happen to a father who let is 11 year old blow stumps? Actually, I don\'t think farmers can even buy dynamite any more. We got it at the local general store!   Leon
