7. The McCarthy Era was a blot on our government. It proved

that it takes only one person to flood our nation with hatred. How he lasted as long as he did still concerns me. The same blot is now on our country under another name. The Patriot Act is something McCarthy would have embraced and kissed. There will always be another McCarthy--in 10 years, 15 years, who knows. We will always have to fight it. As Yogi says it is De ja vu all over again. It is strange, but true, that the most evil person lives among us.
