America is well on the way to being a police state.
It's citizens have already ceded their rights to Privacy, and that's the beginning of the end.
How many Americans really care about this? My guess is not many.
Not many understand the implications of it.
They are still being smothered in the soft wolly comfort that they are all good people so they have nothing to fear.
Not enough cared about the Patriot Act to protest and have it changed, only now are some portions being challenged in the Supreme
Court.
Just as not enough care (according to the polls we outside the US see) to remove the incumbent from office in reaction to the
developments over a botched war, botched intelligence, proven by embarrassing apologies by members of the Administration ; a war
that has cost the lives of hundreds of Americans, whilst other countries in the region clearly pose(d) a far far greater threat.
Americans just don't seem to care enough about America anymore.
The government has successfully managed to sap the will of the people to their own liberty. The Patriot ACt should have brought such
a wicked backlash that the Bush Administration, and indeed the American Congress, should have leapt back quickly with stung hands.
But it didn't.
It was emboldened to seek access to Internet Records, Medical Records, School records you name it and all without judicial review.
There seem to be a few organisations still struggling against the tide, but sadly these people seem to be a minority. The majority
couldn't seem to care less.
It's always a struggle between government and the people in any country I think,democracy only works if you have a thinking public
that cares about their country, but it's chilling to see it happen so quickly in America. The voices that raise in defiance of these
acts and new laws are derided by the US public as being unpatriotic at worst and at best deluded pacifists.
9/11 really did change everything.
