    Also, why haven't you addressed the fact that it is for those non-law abiding citizens?

      Hello Mary. Being censored even with a nice post. lol. No drones please. It seems we are desensitized in the movies and have to have ratings on them, but in our government restrictions we seem to let them walk on us.

    Mary:
    I don't particula3ly care if the President signed the particular order; I would just like to know where you get off thinking that lawbreakers are any less citizens and deserve to be droned; not to mention collateral damage.
    You advocate genocide.
    Stop splitting hairs.

    And, Mary, right now you are stealing company time and resources; you are breaking the law, (and the 8th Commandment.)
    By your logic, you deserve to be droned, correct?

    Good morning folks.
    Indefinite incarceration without legal recourse or warrant, warrant less wiretapping , surveillance , drones, our e-mails and phone conversations read & analyzed. Did I leave out something?
    Freedom.

      Oh, yeah, but we're "safe."
      What a load of hooey.
      The question is, safe from whom?
      (And yes, I'm being sarcastic again.)

    @saywhat, As you well know all that is happening now; just hasn't been advertized. Cleaning up this world is what I advocate; not the genocide of innocent people as perported. Those that may not be directly guilty can be guilty by association, yes?

      I don't know what else one would call advocating drone strikes by the US gov't against US citizens in inner cities but genocide.
      "Those that may not be directly guilty can be guilty by association, yes?" Meaning what? That people who know someone who has broken the law deserve to die, too?
      Maybe because they live in the same building?
