The freedoms once shared by all Americans are being either eliminated or are being greatly curtailed all in the name of security. Has the government gone too far, yes it seems they are, not only that they continue on this path.
Let me ask you an honest question. What is it that you were able to do fifteen years ago that you can't now? You claim our freedoms have been eliminated. Where? Which ones? Really, while I am very skeptical of our government, I think politicians are scum, I am failing to see where we have lost all of these freedoms that some seem to insist we have lost.

Posse Comitatus was essentially done away with, unfortunately, with the siege on the Branch Davidians at Waco. This is not anything that just recently happened.

Do I like it? No.
However, what do you suggest they do? I mean, I can sit and complain, but if I don't have any other alternative ways to accomplish the finding out and capture of people who would love to see the destruction of America, then I shouldn't really say anything. Well, let me rephrase that... I can say something, but of what good is it?

Dragon, what is going to wind up happening, maybe not in our lifetime, is a complete upheaval. I think eventually, things will get to such a point to where people will actively work towards the overthrow of their government.
you will have the rest of the world come to there to distribute food and organize peace keeping operations.

This is why I said we will really start hearing about homegrown terrorists. Thought crimes are here, and the government will move against those that oppose it's will.
I think there are already groups of people moving in this direction, It really only takes a small group of people to make enormous change. I'm just waiting for the spark.
Watching and waiting.

Well you'll get your wish very soon i think.
There are rumors already that bush is trying to rig the 2008 election, just like the last one. There have been reports that if it looks like he's going to lose the election "no ammount of tampering will save him this time..lol", he will cancel the elections & declair martial Law.
