This Administration is taking us down a perilous road. This Administration is putting its own citizenry in grave danger. Forced vaccinations benefit only the producers of those vaccines.
If we genuinely want peace and safety, then unlawfully invading foreign lands, unlawfully assassinating targeted people overseas, unlawfully divesting our own citizens of their rights and invading their persons -- in other words, violating the most sacred and certain of domestic and international laws -- will not do it.
These unlawful methods cannot continue long without bringing world war. Bin Laden did not attack us because we have a Bill of Rights. He attacked us, as he himself declared, because we had invaded sacred Muslim lands. There is no justification for Bin Laden's attacks on innocent Americans, but neither is there any justification for the United States to invade lands that do not belong to it, or the bodies of persons it does not and cannot ever own.
Our bodies belong to us, not our government. There is no genuine power without consent. Any power obtained through force is illegitimate and eventually rebounds back on those who apply it.
While in the short term, Bush might maintain "order" (a term hauntingly reminiscent of the Nazi aphorism "Alles in Ordnung") by forcing his will and his way on the world, it will not last, and we Americans will be the ones to suffer for his mistakes.
There is no replacement for the Bill of Rights or the Constitution of the United States. Whatever "garden of delights" we have enjoyed will be forever lost.

3 Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc. 501 U.S. 560 (1991). The landmark case that determined that states retain full authority to legislate in any field and to achieve any objective, subject only to the limitations imposed in the Constitution itself is Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 U.S. (9 Wheat.) 1 (1824). Chief Justice John Marshall wrote that such powers included "that immense mass of legislation, which embraces every thing within the territory of a state, not surrendered to the general government; all of which can be most advantageously exercised by the states themselves. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state ... are component parts of this mass." In 1827, Marshall dubbed this power "the police power." Brown v. Maryland, 25 U.S. (12 Wheat.) 419. In 1878, the Supreme Court decided that the states may not bargain away their police power to corporations. Boston Beer Co. v. Massachusetts, 97 U.S. 25. But not every state law enacted in the purported interests of public health, safety, welfare, and morals, is automatically presumed to be Constitutional. Where a police power enactment infringes on rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights, a federal court may strike down a state law. U.S. v. Carolene Products Co., 304 U.S. 144 (1938). Additionally, the General Welfare Clause (Article I, section 8 of the U.S. Constitution) empowers Congress to "collect taxes ... to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States." This has traditionally been interpreted as a federal taxing power only, but also permitted the Supreme Court in 1937 to sustain the Social Security Act. Steward Machine Co. v. Davis, 301 U.S. 548.
