Are our civil liberties worth more today than they were eight years ago? The price of nearly every commodity in the marketplace has risen sharply over this same time span, ie. oil and food. Civil Rights are traded on the Standard and Poor Index.
Over the past eight years our supply civil liberties have been eroding. The Patriot Act and other legislation and non-legislative steps the Bush administration has taken to "protect" us from another group of "ists" has lowered the supply of available civil liberties. With Friday's passage of the FISA upgrade, that supply is even lower no thanks to the Lame-o-crats.
Many are speculating that these measures will heavily increase the value of remaining civil rights. Civil rights are a finite resource and are being done away with faster than we can replenish the supply. Have we reached "peak civil rights"?
If so, we are in luck because this should cause the value of our remaining rights to rise exponentially if I am capable enough to understand complex economic jargon like supply and demand. I wonder how well what's left of my privacy will trade on Monday. A big thanks to Democrats for helping the value of my remaining civil liberties skyrocket.
