I agree with you, but ok....who is winning?
You think America isn't ALREADY oppressed? Of course it is, it just hides it a lot better than other countries do. You think your perceived freedoms are tantamount to being free?
Of course not...the difference between other countries oppressive regimes and the USA is the difference between (in your words) taking it up the rear with lube or without, that's about all.

Yes, it is very sad to say. And, it WILL take a lot for a course correction, you're right. I definitely don't have more solutions than I do questions, one thing I do know is this. When growing up, a constant phrase of advice was always prevalent in our household, "violence solves nothing". But as years go by, I often have to question the wisdom of that.
