Rantallion - Who's to say that's not coming? And before you call me absolutely insane, look at history. Loss of personal freedoms starts with a group that a number of people dislike or distrust and then move on to any opposition to the current political leaders of that nation. -------------------- "Because giant worm repellant costs money, Comrade Mother!"

quote:Interesting that you can say this after an American journalist from that well-respected newspaper the New York Times recently admitted to making up stories. And that it's not the first time it's happened. There was an interesting bit on CNN about this problem and all the people mentioned were American journalists. EDIT: Sorry, didn't mean to make it sound like I assumed you were American ^^ Just re-read it and realised that it sounded like that, my apologies.

quote:While I don't believe in the conspiracy thing myself in the least, your above argument supports the idea. What does the Patriot/Homeland Security Act do? Gives massive power to the government that is treading on the gray line of being unconstitutional (or, in my opinion, has stepped over it). Could the government have done this before the attacks? No, every activist group in the country would have leaped down their throats, along with the press. No, what the conservative government needed to pass something like that was a disaster on a scale the US hadn't seen for a long time. And it happened. If you're a conspiracy theorist, you might connect those two things and start stroaking your goatee (real or imagined) in thought. Or if you're like me, you just think that it's an idiot (for god's sake, the man used the word "gooder" three times in a recent speech) with very intelligent advisors capitalizing on a tragedy. -------------------- "Because giant worm repellant costs money, Comrade Mother!"

This country is becoming frighteningly like post-rev Russia, actually. I would not say so much in the economic area as we're not quite there yet (but moving in that direction, I read a rather disturbing piece recently on the number of US families who are living on less than 10$ thousand a year). It's in the area of personal freedoms where I'm seeing this: Under the new Patriot Act (AKA Homeland Security Act), it's legal for the government to wiretap your home, arrest you, imprison you as long as they want if you're "suspected" of terrorism. And they can do it all without a warrant. I'm amazed that more people haven't screamed about this - honestly, it's pretty frightening for anyone who's studied history. -------------------- "Because giant worm repellant costs money, Comrade Mother!"
