Re: America the Police State
I don't stress over too much. However I think it makes for an interesting discussion. I can see signs of unrest with Old fogies like this Churchhill Fellow in Colorado and young dumb bored students getting something started with the Federal government. Well this Titor fellow has got me thinking. What would the begining of a Civil war look like Could you or anyone recoginize if one was starting? I contend that few people could recognize what the trends were. That most people would be on the side of it can't happen here or it does not matter to me. With the enviroment going through some changes, mass media with horrible stories commonplace, The rise of non-leathal weapons, Cracks showing in the Republican party, The Federal Government grabbing for more and more power, with liberals getting more and more hysterical and out of touch with reality, with republicans pushing toward security, Well it all makes me wonder am I seeing a change in America and I just don't know what I am seeing? Or are there great things just around the corner? I am excited about the thought of a space eleavator, cure for diabeties, quantum computers, fusion energy, and better health for all.
And SEV sometime this year.
