What happen in Boston was people doing what was necessary to stop two bad men.

Joplin was under Marshal Law for 1-2 weeks and you did not get asked, you were told. Yet once again it was for a good reason. Yes, you had to show ID, a lot. Yes we had a a hard deadline curfew, zero wiggle room. But we had outside people coming in that were out to get whatever they could. So yes, we were happy to follow orders.

Do we need a national debate about what is private anymore. Yes, no question. Boston showed us that. People may think it was horrid, but truth was it was for the public good. The people of Boston went with it because they knew the bad guys had to get caught with no more citizens getting hurt.

The hunting/stopping of terrorist, foreign or domestic, is a national thing. We all need to pull together on this and talk about the new technology out today and what really is private. Is a phone #, something we place online or in a phone book private? Is an e-mail address really private or is it like regular old snail mail? (as in people can see your address, but can't read your mail without a warrant).

But much of it, at this time, will be needed to be trusted to the government. Debate it, yes, but remember that those out to hurt us is not waiting on us to finish that debate. Things will still need to be done that we don't agree with yet.

So much to do with so little time.And people not even trying to really discuss, those that are throwing around those new terms, they are really just slowing it all down. They can not add to the conversation so here are the new name for those that see that the President is doing the best with what he has at this time. He is leading us through a time where he working without a net.

He too, is in the same new world, he is trying to lead us through it. But those that can not see this, they are lost and have no clue.
