Exactly my point. Where is there an ISA in the U.S.? It only proves that power can be corrupted and abused, and laws are but the tool. Don't get bogged down in semantics. There are no rogue laws, only rogue govts.

You kong simi? You allow for occasions of a rogue government but you don't allow for rogue laws enacted by rogue governments. Then again, laws evolve. The ISA is a punishment tool that is largely not required today. Today with the technology available it is relatively easy to gather evidence via surveillance. The ISA can and should be removed because there are better laws in place to fight against terrorism. The argument is similar to calls to open up the mainstream media to more competition. The PAPzis argue that they need to control information that may be seditious etc etc etc eventhough they and everyone knows that there are already laws against sedition and inciting racial issues.

Reminds me of this "Catholic guilt" that all believers seem to suffer from. My friend who is a staunch Catholic used to tell me he would go for confession every time he masturbates. One day, i asked him,"So all this time, did the priest have a hard on?"
