The door slowly closes on individual rights and privacy. The Patriot Act looks like the bulk of it will pass. That would be enough of a critical mass of incursion to organically grow into the Orwellian scenario. That's part of the threat. In the NY Times today is an article about the the National Security Agency having some of the powers of the Patriot Act already. Specifically the N.S.A. has the authority to eavesdrop on Americans and others in the United States WITHOUT a court-approved warrant. The future Orwellian scenario is already here. The N.S.A. authority came from an executive order signed by the little evil moron 2 months after 9/11.
Lika a ball on a roulette wheel that drops into a numbered groove our number is up. But it was not by chance. All democracies arrive at this point. Because democracies follow the money. Wealth is the basis of democracy. Without a pile of value to vote/bid for the democratic process would have no lure.. So money is the name of the game. Like Texas-Hold'em, winner takes all. The shared American winners now are the Evangelicals, Zionists and Neocons. Both parties supported their march to power. Why? Because of campaign contributions and a maintenance of lobbyist influence purchasing. Neither party turns down money from these deep pocket reps of radical religious influence and their military-industrial attack dogs.
Time to give up? No. The beast of tryanny and intolerance thrives on hate and war. American voters should take the war-making ability away from the executive and the legislative branches. They can't be trusted. War should only be authorized by a majority favoring it through a NATIONAL REFERENDUM. The states should get the change started by drafting state propostions to that purpose.
