Allow me a sec or explain more on what I meant. I was agreeing that the
loss of lives was more important than a radio, but not with the
sentiment that giving up my rights for the sake of security is
acceptable.  I will NOT give up any rights for this so-called safety.
The gov't can have my rights after they pull my gun from my cold dead
hand. :)

I'd much rather have the NEQ be down one freaking radio then any
American be down one brother,sister,mother,father, etc.

If you don't like it, move.
