> Their current excuse is so thin it hurts. It's thin to the educated few. But for the uneducated masses, they think government is doing this to help them. The easiest way for a government to get people to accept tyranny is to scare them with a threat ( external or internal ) and then claim the government is taking away rights in order to protect the public. The power of fear and propaganda is central to government overreach and control. Whether it is nazi germany's fear mongering over the international jewry or the soviet fear mongering over capitalist west or the fear mongering of communist china, north korea, britain, saudi arabia, israel and of course the US, all governments follow the same script. "If you want to control someone, all you have to do is to make them feel afraid." - coelho
