Cap to Cap update #3 > Rexroad.com

This morning the day started at 0500 California time. You know who had a huge smille on his face?....Bill Marble. The guy is just always so incredibly happy. I love that.

Secretary Chertoff was excellent this morning at breakfast. When I saw this on the agenda I was worried that he was either going to be long and boring or too short to have any meaning. He hit it right on.

Several days ago I started a post about the balance between person freedoms and security. It was kind of a response to the tragedy at Virginia Tech and what I fear will be the legislative sledge hammer that will fall on personal freedoms. It was difficult to express my views with the written word. Chertoff did a great job of verbally explaining the trade-off between security and the freedom that we associate with our lives.

It is a balance that we have to understand in order to craft public policy accordingly.

I have publicly voices my concerns about the Patriot Act and the implementation of it following 9/11. I have to tell you that I am still concerned about it but feel a little bit better to see people like Secretary Chertoff in the position he is in.

Ok. Off the Hill. We're going to get some good work done and have some fun. Some of these people are a little too serious.

I miss my family today.
