It is true that we have not and hopefully will not fall to the depths of Germany but every right abridged, every scare tactic touted is another step in the direction of fascism. Our freedoms have a price and that price includes some danger. We can never be safer by being less free, and we should not trust the government to have the best interests of the masses at heart. There is not a jack booted thug army in the streets yet but Blackwater is probably negotiating for the contract. Our vigilance is crucial to our democracy.
