Lest we forget.....................................

                 Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
The meaning to those words seems plain enough.  I know this governing thing is hard, especially when many of the governed aren't at all enamored with being told what to do, or think, or say.  I know that many people will quickly trade liberty for security.  But still.......one Amendment at a time, the words to our Constitution seem to have lost any meaning.  Sadness.
