Terrorists, bomb-makers and quotes
I likes these:
The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments.
George Washington
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
Benjamin Franklin
I am glad they caught those alleged bombers in Toronto, the idea of blaming the internet is nonsense. I already feel that the "hate" laws we have go too far and feel we should not sanction government censoring of the internet as in China. If anything this should encourage a (court approved by warrant) tracking of Canadians to suspect sites.
The bigger question is should we play the propaganda war? For instance the government could set up fake sites like the ones visited with bomb making instructions that were inherently unsafe. But that's probably illegal. Too bad, the idea of bomb makers blowing themselves up accidentally has a nice ring to it.

My favourite quote from one of the Founding Fathers is:
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"
Samuel Adams
It's pretty killer!
