"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against UNREASONABLE searches and seizures shall not be violated ....

; [ SEMICOLON -- i.e. in separating INDEPENDENT clauses in a compound sentence]

... and no Warrants shall issue, but upon PROBABLE cause, supported by Oath OR AFFIRMATION, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Simply put .... Obama, Pelosi, et al UNDERSTAND with great clarity what it all means. --- and only the Delusionary Simpletons in the US of A ... "don't get it."

The Paranoids of the Bush-Cheney Regime want to Fish-Net lines of communication that are already regulated & operated by the Public for such coded terms as cold-fusion or synthetic biological germs. --- they PROBABLY don't wish to tempt the devil with another Watergate Blowout.

If you want to go down to the salvation army and pickup a couple of old walkie-talkies to plot the overthrow of Said-Regime .... well ... then you've little to be concerned about.

If you want to sit in the privacy of your home kitchen and plot with your cousin to topple the Statue of Liberty into the harbor, then consider yourself Safe from what FISA may do to your TV dinner affair.

Obama, Pelosi, et al see Reality as it is .... they've little faith in advocates who choose to stuff their heads in their bowls of cherrios and blow bubbles of childish misconceptions.

Some will claim the world is round ... others that it's pear shaped ... but if you want to say it's square .... So Be It.

so ..... Charge Thine Windmills !!! ... if it makes Ye feel Noble.

or Hope for the Longshot .... Draft Nader in Denver

. . . . big deal

TWEEDLE-DEE: "McClean's a Hypo-Crite ... He insists that; "A Man's Word is is Bond" ... then does a Switcher-a-Roo"

TWEEDLE-DUM: "Uhh, yup .... at least O'Blarny's been Up & Up with The People from the outset"

TWEEDLE-DEE: Undeedie !! --- He did warn us all beforehand that he would be The Candidate of "Change"

UTNE MAGAZINE: (July-August 2007) . . a Progressive Voice for Progressive Times.

"RENT-a-PROTESTER"

"If you can't seem to lure the True Believers to your sit-in, fear not: German website Erento.com, a Craigslist-style rental marketplace for such items as horse-drawn carriages and chicken-plucking machines, now also offers "Protestors For Hire."

"According to SPIEGEL ONLINE (18 Jan 07), the website provides profiles of the 300-odd available 'Demonstrators,', such as;

"Steffen (6 feet 2 inches tall, 'athletic') and Manuela (green eyes, 'very long' hair), as well as their geographic locations."

"These sign wavers and slogan chanters typically charge $188 for a six-hour shift, although Demonstrators are free to negotiate ($$) their own prices." ( !!! )

"And while Steffen and Manuela may not have a personal passion for your cause, Progressives will be relieved to hear that, as far as the demonstrators are concerned, certain protests -- involving Neo-Nazis or promoting discrimination, for instance, are strictly taboo."
