It is not by the consolidation, or concentration, of powers, but by their distribution that good government is effected. - Thomas Jefferson  Wednesday, November 20, 2002 Oh, boy!  We're officially secure! Now that we have a Homeland Security Department, I feel so much safer from terrorists. It was funny, listening to Tom Daschle complain about all the pork in the bill, considering the bacon he has provided in the past regarding things like timber and buffalo. One question that has bothered me since President Bush first proposed this is what is the Department of Defense for? If it's there to protect us from outsiders, can I assume HSD is to protect us from...us?  All those who find this a little scary, please raise your hand.  And leave your email address, social security #, day and night phone #, bank account #, employer's FEIN, your spouse's employer and the number of firearms you own (if you haven't already reported this to your physician), just in case Sec. Ridge and Adm. Poindexter need your help protecting you. Update:  Columnist Kathleen Parker and funnyguy Scott Ott weigh in.   sez Doug Murray 8:16:38 AM   sez you [] Copyright 2002 © Doug Murray
