I was thinking about how such nasty things have been passed through Congress and made law under adverse conditions, sometimes with a stroke of a Presidential pen. We all scream and complain, but they go through anyway, usually enriching some big corporate giant that subsidized the last election. From certain drugs or vaccines, GMO foods, "non-lethal" weapons to allowing torture. We all KNOW it's not going to come to a good end, yet it takes YEARS for "results" to come pouring through, and then we all have to start hearings and court injunctions just to get them off the market.
What ever happened to common sense?
Blackwater has created some bad asses. If they can't be used abroad, then they'll be used at home. The only thing I'd think they'd be good at is cleaning up the street gangs, IF NOT USED POLITICALLY.
We all SHOULD be concerned.
