However, as good news as that is, watching the slimy performance of the democratic congress, many of which stood with unanimous Republican condemnation of MoveOn.org, I would not count on the Nazified Patriot Act being repealed in your lifetime unless you are an embryo of parental descent which life expectancy is minimally 90+ years.

The above bio harvested from the comments of Deans, colleagues, students, clients and collector's.
As I was posting this on social networks I could not help but notice some comments that rapidly gathered and wondered and more and more comprehend how it is that now even Democrats are marching farther right. In FDR's day, if this were to have occurred, America would have joined Nazi Germany in the war, rather than opposing her. What made this once the sanctuary of those seeking justice, honesty and truth, became a bastion of Fascism, racism and worse? I think I know and will write about it soon, but for now I can only join the dwindling number of men and women who pray for a change. It seems that no matter how much we write and speak and pressure for goodness, we get diabolic behavior which is spreading instead.
Go figure, is the NY Jewish comment for such things. The Italians say, The demon hs borrowed the soul of a nation. Whatever, whomever is closer to the truth, the way of life many of us expected is fast slipping away. I see more racism today, than I did forty years ago. I see more applause for violence than I have in my life, and I see more fools than I ever thought possible. Were I younger I would go abroad for several years and see what those in Europe think. I might even move into the mountains of Spain. I think the worst is yet to come, the Dems are joining the Bushites in embracing violence for oil. God help the poor innocent unarmed, old men, women, and children they will be bombing next.
