Those who would trade freedom for security deserve neither freedom nor security.

Well the new site isn't 'fully operational' but we decided to go ahead and start putting it up..
So welcome! to the new and improved
BenderX website.
Along with the online update, rejoice for the end of The Era of Darkness. We tested the waters with a couple of local house parties, and have scheduled our 1st full blown, 45
minute club set at
Arlene's Grocery in NYC. It will be AMAZING!
Check back soon for an armed and fully operational site...
So the majority of the sunset clauses of the Patriot ACT are in the process of being removed for good, and make no mistake about it... the only difference between the two sides of the aisle is HOW quickly they can take them out). One has to ask themselves.. why is it necessary to take these out or extend them? What's wrong with having to review a piece of legislation, espcially one as far reaching as this one, every couple years? I mean in my opinion... EVERY law should come up for review every year. This would take too long you say? Well, weed out the vast amounts of useless (most drug laws), out of date (
a phone tax to pay for the Spanish American war?) and just plain
stupid laws*, and the task would most likely become quite manageable. Hundred of new laws are passed every year... few, if any, are ever revoked.
The Lost Freedom Alert is being set to:
HIGH...
*Ok this law was repealed... like a month ago. Nice.
