Is there some mad outbreak of fascism I don't know about? Anyone who regularly reads the Guardian and takes it seriously is probably locked up in a seed bunker somewhere. I certainly agree there's been a slow erosion of civil liberties in the US since 9/11, but I've yet to see an epidemic of doors kicked in for outspoken opinions against the state. Maybe calm down on the fascism talk.
