Classmate Jonathan Crump discussion response:

I believe that giving up our civil rights in order to help the government track down terrorists would be a slippery slope to allowing the government to abuse their power into controlling every aspect of citizens lives. I do not believe that the government should have such power. If they cannot track, hunt, and kill terrorists with the amount of money they tax the citizens of this country then that means they are failing. We give the government enough as it is, so handing over our civil rights would be a drastic step to say the least. There will always be bad people wanting to do bad things, and even if we were to give the government the means to wire tap, spy, and anything else they can think of, it doesn't mean that bad people would go away. They would adapt and find new ways to terrorize.
