Re: America the Police State
Well, the T hunt is slightly improved over the pervious C and W hunts. A few actual T's at least caused serious, local trouble before the hunt started. Not that it's much of an improvement, for practical purposes.

Re: America the Police State
Heh, america is only describable as the land of ehm, well, overreacting...
versus anything.
it's like a woman, with moodswings and sudden outbursts of anger you dont have any idea where they came from. and irrational fears and reactions upon them.
I think the woman analogy (albeit stereotypical-woman analogy) is the best fitting I found so far.

What do you mean America? People in general, all over the world, overreact quite frequently... |

Re: America the Police State
I donīt remember who said it, but it is true:
"One person is intelligent and reasonable, but a group of persons is a beast controlled by basic and irrational instincts."

Ahh yes. "A Person is smart, people are dumb, dangerous panicky animals and you know it!" So true.
Oh, Atrocities, Thanks for the laugh today, When you mentioned the french revolution thing a while back all I heard in my mind in an evil over-stereotyped french voice was "Say Bonjour to Madame Guillotine!"  |

Re: America the Police State
You should vote for Stisnera when you cast your ballot Narf. Only she can create true happiness, and politics will be greatly simplified once she arrives to power. Besides, she is both a woman and belongs to a minority (the Tieflings), so she is certainly the perfect candidate for another kind of democracy.  |

it's more apparent in america because:
1: more people united than any other country.
2: more power to do things (read: army & economic power) |
