There's a false leap of login in your response to me. I am saying this thing is wrong. You are saying that I can't say that unless I give an alternative statement. That's nonsense.
I will say it again: No solution that goes too far is acceptable. I will add this: These laws are taking away more freedoms, harming us more, than the so-called enemies.
I think that new laws might have helped. But I also think we could have improved what we were doing already, and had some effect. If people feel the need to make changes, to do a better job, I can support that. But not when those changed undermine or take away basic freedoms.
I don't pretend to have the answers. It is possible to recognize evil, without having confidence in an alternative. Doing what we were doing before would have been better than what we did. So why commit an act of evil? It's even more ridiculous when you realize that they could have put their intellect, money, and effort into solutions that weren't evil.
