Players Attempt To Hang On To Civil Rights
Instead of losing cash for landing on certain squares, [players] lose civil liberties. And the “Mr. Monopoly” character at the center of the board is replaced by a scowling former Attorney General John Ashcroft.
“Patriot Act: The Home Version” pokes fun at “the historic abuse of governmental powers” by the recently renewed anti-terrorism law, according to its creator’s Web site.
The object of the game is not to amass the most money or real estate, but to be the last player to retain civil liberties.
“I’ve had people complain to me that when they play, nobody wins. They say `We’re all in Guantanamo and nobody has any civil liberties left,'” he said. “I’m like `Yeah, that’s the point.'”

I have no PROOF…
but I predicted this crap when the Towers were hit.
Unfortunetly, most of my prediction was “Well, baby bush NOW has something to kill this country with.”
The only good politician is an AMATURE politician!
And if we have to hang the professionals?… just to get rid of them?… I’ll GLADLY be holding the rope!
(yah, I know… looks like rambling. but, hey!… in MY mind, this works!)
Funny… hanging politicians with a rope works on my mind too! Guess we think the the same way.
And infact it might work! I mean wouldn’t it?
“Asked if the FBI keeps a file on Kabbash, a bureau spokesman refused to comment.”
I take that as a “yes”.
Using rope is kind to the enviroment as well. I am all for recycling.
