If any of the folks in tonight's debate talk about grabbing guns and also mention suspending "due process" to be able to do so they really should be careful in what they wish for. If we lose something like "due process" then my employing bureau would become extremely hyper-efficient as the country would descend into being an authoritarian regime with no respect for private property rights. Life would get really, really scary quite quickly.
Something to ponder, I suppose.

Or, to put it in blunter terms, "due process" is what prevents my employing bureau from robbing you blind and acting like a biblical-style tax collector when you owe Uncle Sam money. Many of us at work actually fear ever being placed in a position to have to work like the apostle Matthew was in. We're not stupid thugs. We're fairly decently educated thugs...
