    "Concerned about living in a police state? GMAFB. Get used to it people. You chose it after all. You choose it every day through your inaction. You can become more shrill and whine as much as you want. Unless you actually do something about it, you are just waiting your turn."

    Exactly right ....... the cliche that "the people get the govt they deserve" is true.

    Nothing can happen in any country unless the people allow it to be so.

    So, yes the problem is the american people and not the govt traitors who now run the govt for the benefit of the corporations.

    Already conditioned from the time they are in public schools to be good little worker ants ...... and then consume, consume, consume, like a cancer cell, they, like a trained monkey know nothing else to do.

    Use the drugs and distractions of television (from professional sports to reality shows to whatever), ipods, video games,etc to deepen the trance of their already asleep minds.

    Then side with the corporations in destroying their economy (globalization ....... outsourcing, etc) putting them in a panic about their survival.

    Eventually, the people become so concerned about maintaining their income, that they don't give a damn about anything else ......... and protest ???? , they might lose their job.

    Primal fear is the primary motivator for unthinking animals and the govt has used they activities of a handful of terrorists to steal the country from its citzens.

    Thus, the terrorists were successful in 9/11 ....... more successful than had they blown up and entire city.

    And do you think you will ever know who was really behind 9/11 .... and/or acquiesced in the possibilities for its exploitation?

    To be a truly independent real human being is to do what is right, no matter the costs.

    Apparently, the american people still have it "too good" .....

    perhaps when their stomachs are threatened they will move (only in self-interests ....... but they are too stupid to realize what their own self-interests are now) ........ over 250 congress members were fired in the election of 1933 .......maybe only a depression will bring any kind of change.

    Only when their freedom is more important to them than their buying power will things change.
