Look at China now. Free enterprise style of economy but a totalitarian form of government.

I'm really scared for this country. Erosion of the middle class, clampdown of our constituional rights. I'm afraid we're heading for a two class system. Filthy rich business owners and semi rich technicians and the working poor. If you keep Playstations affordable the lower class won't rebel (modern day Version of the Roman Coloseum games) And if you do get uppity enough and ***** about "your place" in society, it's off to prison for you!

DYSLEXICS OF AMERICA UNTIE!

The new world order. It is the evelution of our society. There will always be a slave class and a rich power wielding currupt governing class.

It has been like this throughout history, and it will continue to be like this.

Gee, if that's true, why even bother keeping the humans around? Why not replace us with something better?

I value your opinion.

And please no country bashing. I wish to keep this thread to its original intent and that is the issue of Rights and Freedoms.

Well I gotta tell you as a recent vet, and in fact I had just finished my tour Last june as some of you know, it was quite difficult to see my home town of NYC attacked. I cant fathom the total outcome of all the worlds chaos but I must admit that I would rather be here in America and have the ability as a citizen to change things as opposed to other nations who do not give that right to its citizens. My opinion is , to quote and paraphrase a certain Mel Gibson movie (Braveheart), that the government is there to serve us and not the citizens serve those in power.
Freedom isnt free....
