The first speaker Peggy talked about the attacks on the food supplies on grocery shelves. She said it was a very real threat and it would mean very serious diseases. I think that yes this is a serious problem but let us look at it a moment. How would the terrorists get into the grocery stores to inject the food and to get it out? This is not something that would be or could be done without someone seeing or knowing what’s going on. With it also being a grocery store they would need to hit many for it to even make a huge deal. I just think it is less of a threat then she thinks. The next speaker is Bob, talks about using military law in a domestic scenario; at least this is what I think he was trying to say, I have a great problem with this for a few reasons. The US constitution has rule over all people on US soil… it does not say all citizens it says all people. If they are on US soil they should fall under civil law and they should have liberties and due respect. I do not under any conditions agree with the speaker. The speaker Eric talked about taking someone off the street for an indeterminate amount of time, this… this is against all that we agreed on in the constitution. The right to a speedy trial (if there needs to be one) It is not right to take someone off the street for however long you want just because it is “terrorist” related. Civil liberties are broken when we start doing this.
