The so-called Patriot Act

The New Mexico state legislature doesn't like the Patriot Act. If you think about it a minute, this gets less...

I think you've forgotten to close a "center" tag at the end of this entry.

Thanks--already heard it from Dave Trowbridge, and just fixed it.

For some reason, my system doesn't always show me unclosed tags. Next thing I'm hearing my entire weblog is centered, or italicized, or some damnfool thing...

The damnfool thing isn't you or your advice. Both are appreciated. It's my software. More to the point, it's me.

Sigh. I tried several years ago to convince Jordin we should move to New Mexico when, for perfectly good reasons, I fell in love with Albuquerque. (It has some really good bookstores!) He maintained the airport was insufficient for his needs and refused. Sigh.

Nice to see Linne9a getting more exposure (is that the right phrasing?).

(And Nea, if you read this, I promise to try to be more active in I}M!)

The so-called Patriot Act -- comment #5 from Dave Bell

I've been seeing a lot of discussion of this on RASFF, and the usual suspects have been tagging anyone the INS suspects as a clear criminal, and my finger keeps hovering over the 'killfile' button...

And it seems that all the the NM legislature wants can be summed up as "due process" and the presumption of innocence.

I think I shall hit that 'killfile' button next time.

BTW, I've also heard some good things about Arizona, in general.

Do the Russians still use the KGB title, or is it available now? "Justice Department" has the wrong implications. "Committee for State Security" is a lot clearer about intentions and processes.

Thank you for thoughts on New Mexico, along with the legislature update. My only impression of the area is one day of driving across it: "Lovely." Plus the good ice cream and wolf postcards at my rest stop.

Question: Am I missing out on a reference?

...before the werewolves and used-car salesmen shanghaied the term

Werewolves?
