The Latin maxim "And who shall guard the guardians?" has some relevance to the headlong rush into converting the U.S. into even more of a security state than it is now.

Is this not slightly better translated as "who watches the watchers?"? This is the way I have heard it stated, and it is _WAY_ too long since I have studied Latin. One of my great dissapointments is that, despite having spent my entire school career (less university: I'm only 20) in private schools, I couldn't take latin or greek except one year of latin, after which the course was dropped. Sigh. -Robin, who really wanted a classical eduation.
