One of the semi-spam mails I get fromt eh Democratic Party recently assured me that "With some people already casting their ballots, the election of 2004 is now underway, and nothing less than the future of our country is at stake."

I hate to be PedanticMan (OK, I don't, I love it), but isn't the future of the country *always* at stake in a federal election?

I wish I had your confidence. Unfortunately, with the moves to restrict and suppress civil liberties on all fronts by this administration, I don't.

When people can be thrown out of a Presidential event for wearing shirts that say "protect our civil liberties", or someone can be arrested for heckling a speech...
