I am truly interested in how it is that people (whomever, wherever) think they can trump the Unspeakable. With protests? petitions? votes? a slate of candidates? party reformation? fiscal reform? stamping our feet? with the force of arms? With the power of the pen?
A fear that with the exception of a few good intellectuals and writers; a few OWS and other activists, a small % of Americans who understand the clear and PRESENT/imminent danger; most Americans are either so caught up in the struggle for survival in 1% eat 99% America - or are so beaten down mentally that 'resistance is futile' - or that 'someone else will take care of it' - or that the 'system is self-correcting' - or that 'it won't apply to me'...or other false psychological defenses, that little will be done BEFORE it is signed when it is 100000X easier. Once signed [any day now], it can be removed [along with unPatriot Act et al.], but would take replacing [in a rigged system] most of our Congress and the Supreme Court - not to mention getting a non-puppet President...a VERY tall order. For many, leaving the country will prove the easier, as it was for many in the early days of the Reich. I'm sad to say that. Cry my beloved Country!...and Fight Like Hell...As if your life depended on it...IT DOES, along with your liberty! Most everyone will awaken when they declare Martial Law [they'll use some cute other name, but it will be that, none the less] - but then is too late!!!
