America the Police State

[sachmo]

Gozra,

did you see the movie Conspiracy Theory? Just wonderin'.

[Gozra]

Nope don't watch movies too much I just read a lot of news and think about stuff. I pretty much want to be wrong about this American police state / Civil war.
And I am curious about Information flow in organazation. I constantly see bad decisions being made by people in charge based on the interptation of the data they have. time and again one or two people come to the correct conclusion based on the data they collect. But most times most people simply don't ever arrive at the correct conclusion until it's too late.

New weapons technologies continue to develop.

Robotic soldiers right out of 'The Terminator' are not far away:

Chemical explosives continue to become more powerful, so that the gap between 'conventional' and 'nuclear' weapons may be blurred one day:

And even basic 'guns' are developing into new forms that use no 'propellant', have no sound, muzzle flash, or recoil, and can fire at unbelievable rates:

Just read an article that Liberalism is dead. https://ssl.tnr.com/p/docsub.mhtml?i...s=peretz022805
Wonder what happens next. I did note that some of the points the author tried to make was a bit behind the times in reguard to the fact the a lot of folks are asleep about China.
