Well, when the fascists come it looks like a good idea. Until, that is, the authorities are politicised, injustice is rampant, corruption is rife, financial systems fail and the government doesn't explain itself.

The USA is doomed. Utterly doomed.

"The terrorists" aren't the problem. It's the government.

Obama hasn't failed. The citizens have. They have failed themselves.

LEAVE YOUR COUNTRY BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

Back to work!

Turn us all into Mentats.

Need the spice!

The trouble with workers, is they are just that. They can't run a company, can't come up with a great idea or provide genuine leadership. If they could, they wouldn't be workers.

Handing them the reigns due to some misguided attempt at Robin Hood-ism will lead the universal failure.

What is needed is forcing the uber wealthy to use their money is a socially beneficial manner, not squirrelling it away unused.

They know everything. Not just the shirt, but how you paid, the brand, how much it was, its size and all the alternatives that were available at the time in the store.

I worked in a project with them for years and I can tell you they have every last scintilla of every purchase you have EVER made with an EFTPOS or credit card.

They, like Kang, Know All.

Islam, if this is the adherents perspective, is the absolute enemy of everyone.

They clearly forgot to add the "malevolent disembodied life form" detection dooverlacky on this probe.

NASA cant get *anything* right!

Ah, but the government can destroy its own citizens and it is not.

An interesting thing, no?

We think we have progressed so far, only to find we are rally 2 steps behind.

Indeed your argument is true.

I don't agree with countries that torture, hold extraordinary renditions, run black concentration camps, indiscriminate murder other countries citizens, incarcerate its innocent citizens or bankrupt them to protect corporate larceny, but I do host my sites there.

in a household, this is exactly what the MPAA does. Everyone is guilty.

probably not as bad as every single war you have lost since.

".....complete disclosure to the general public of any information regarded as essential to national security"

Extending the idea. Not a big reach.

Overnight everything becomes in the interest of Essential National Security.

Even what you had for breakfast - Food Security.

Can't let the terrorists know in case they try to poison the worlds supply of sugar.

the USA is utterly doomed.

It is in its death spiral.

ARGH! Edit... bloody ipad missed my typing...

"American companies are deliberately having Chinese companies manufacturing high tech devices"
