Any Volunteers for the Gulag?
John has a good suggestion:
“I have an idea I like to call Volunteer Russia. It means that those Americans who want to have their postal mail and email read, who will allow themselves to be placed under surveillance, have their phone conversations listened to, those Americans who are willing to give up some of their rights in order to be detained and interrogated and not charged with anything in the name of national security have the right to submit their names to the government as open citizens. If they want to live in the Soviet Union, why should any of us stop them?
As for the rest of us, who want to live in the United States of America, if the government wishes to investigate us, they will have to go through the traditional methods that are in line with the civil rights that we are guaranteed until such time that we change our minds and sign up for the Volunteer Russia program.
I think that’s fair.”
Any takers?
