DAMN! That was my second guess. Hey PH, I like the founding principles just as much as the next guy, in fact, back awhile when there was the tread about what was the one thing you'd want top pass along if our civ ever died out, it was the US Constution and Bill of Rights. Problem is, is that times change. Circumstances call for exceptions. None of the founding fathers forsaw jet liners flying into 110 story buildings.

None of the founding fathers forsaw the ease with which their words would be corrupted by those who pretend to have the nation's best interests at heart.
What they did forsee is creating a nation whose institutions were strong enough to repel such encroachments on the few things they cherished and held above all else--liberty being one of them.
Nowhere does it say security is one of the ideals that should found this state.
