From recent Walter Williams column, "We must defuse anger, frustration"
   Congress is responsible for today's climate, in which law-abiding
citizens justifiably have far greater fear of government than the fear
that criminals have of government.  Federal agents in the EPA, Corps
of Engineers, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Occupational Safety and
Health Administration make searches of businesses without warrants.
If the same act was done to a criminal, the case would be thrown out
of court.
   The lesson of Oklahoma City, with hundreds of thousands of armed
militiamen and open hostility toward government, is not that we need
greater limits on liberty and privacy as Congress contemplates but
for government to back off.  After that, the uniquely American spirit
of "Don't tread on me!" is not completely dead.
