With the USA becoming the world's most totalitarian state in disguise...
That's a pretty silly thing to say. Sure you don't want to educate yourself on those other states in the world?
It's not silly at all: look again. He said "becoming".
Agreed. I recall watching the events unfold in Tienamin Square all those years ago on TV, and I thought to myself at the time, within 20 years, China will be the last free place on earth. Clocks ticking, and for once, I might have actually been right. Now that the US has no "other" to compare it self to, it is free to lock it all down with the best totalitarian system in history. There are TRENDS, you see, and the TREND is toward total government domination of all aspects of life. This is the trend, and there is not only no signs of any reversal in the trend, it's building momentum like crazy, down-hill train on greased rails.
