America the Police State

[Atrocities]

You know whats funny, the laws are seldom if ever inforced against those who wrote them. Take for instance the law that states that a senator or congressman are not to be paid for days the do not work. Senator Kerry tops the list for days missed with pay. He was paid over 600k that he was not entitled too. Yet do you think he, or all the others, will give the money back? Hell I was once hounded by the IRS for owning them $14.50 one year. The fines and fees brought that amount to nearly $120.00 a year later when they kept most of my return to pay it. Yet senators and congressmen can keep several hundred thousand dollars of our money without question even though there is a law against that?

It is extremly frustrating to know that the rich keep getting richer while the poor are made to pay more and more.

In France they knew how to deal with injustices like this. They simply did the unthinkable and beheaded everyone.

ROTFLMAO If the peeps at Homeland Insecurity ever run this forum past their filters, they will think they have cracked a huge cell of anarchists.

Not as crazy as you may have though it sounded. The "Department of Homeland Security" and the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act have also been hugely abused.

The PATRIOT Act protects us from:

I researched this and have found nothing to support it. No huge round ups of people or violations of peoples civil liberties. Nothing. So without supportive fact, I would say that of this is just consiritory fear and hog wash.

Then again, if they can keep the UFO at Area 51 secret for all of these years, and that Stargate program, then anything is possible.

Well, the T hunt is slightly improved over the pervious C and W hunts. A few actual T's at least caused serious, local trouble before the hunt started. Not that it's much of an improvement, for practical purposes.

Heh, america is only describable as the land of ehm, well, overreacting...

versus anything.

it's like a woman, with moodswings and sudden outbursts of anger you dont have any idea where they came from. and irrational fears and reactions upon them.

I think the woman analogy (albeit stereotypical-woman analogy) is the best fitting I found so far.

What do you mean America? People in general, all over the world, overreact quite frequently...
