Wire tapping is a huge invasion of privacy
Q: What is your opinion on the statement, "The Patriot Act harms civil liberties"?A: Agree. We need to be addressing the root causes of things such as terrorism, so that considering things like the Patriot Act becomes nonsense.
The authorization of wire tapping, for example, without due cause, is a huge invasion of privacy to law abiding citizens and gives the central government too much power.

Expand armed forces with shifted focus
Q: What is your opinion on the statement, "Expand the armed forces"?A: Support with qualifications. We need to shift our military's focus. We need to bring all non-treaty troops home immediately, and stop seeking to control oil supplies when
we could be completely free of oil in a couple of years. The military needs to be strong, but the focus needs to be on helping people not killing and conquests.

Expand the military in smart directions
- Let's expand the armed forces by expanding our educational process, by completely reforming the armed forces and repurposing them for global peace and charity work.
- Let's expand the armed forces by designing next generation super helicopters i
autocad.
- Let's bring the troops home and let's quit trying to be the global bully and go back to being the global diplomat.
- We propose arcologies as the new form of USA Embassy; food, shelter, clothing, housing, education, employment, for one
million people.
- Soup Kitchens and schools. Food not bombs.
- Expand the military in smart directions rather than contract the military in stupid directions.
- "Expand the armed forces" can mean a lot of different things. Expand them how?
-
They need better armor, better support services, better intelligence, and fewer targets...
- We favor real expansion of the armed forces in assorted evolutionary directions.
