There's a four year limitation on those laws.
Feel free to worry yourself sick that in four years your Congress.... which passed the laws.... (that would be the Congress we collectively elected to represent us) will have to vote to extend them, end them or modify them.
This November of 2002 you have the chance to change the structure and political outlook of the Congress. I suggest you ask pointed questions of those you intend to vote for concerning these laws.
You will get another such chance in November of 2004.
Don't waste these chances....... that is, if you are truly concerned.
It's always far easier to b*tch than work for change, isn't it?
Now, if these laws stay longer than needed, I'll be happy to be a grunt in the Second American Revolution. We'll win too... because IMO the military in this country probably has a better understanding of and devotion to the Constitution & the Bill of Rights than the politicos do. It'll be the military and the common man against the politicos.. should last about 15 minutes after we go to Congress to throw the rascals out.

Then we can start over where we left off and elect new scoundrels, scoundrels more in tune with robbing us of our paychecks than of our liberty.
It'll be just like the "good ole days" which are .. well, right around now.
