Speaking from my society and government in the USA we are lost! Homeland security, first off nazi Germany had the "Fatherland", Communist Russia had the "Motherland". Great slogans for populus control.
Now on to the point, as we are becoming more of a police state we draw further from our constitutional ideals and the power the police have needs to be contested on a more frequent basis. The judicial system decides what is wright and wrong, the police enforce this. Police have too much latitude to cast judgement that is not their rite W/O consequence. Innocent until proven guilty my arse.
We are hemoraging money and resources to feed ritch and greedy assholes in the private security and arms sector, those fine folks and the persons they pay off in the government (lobbyists) are distroying this nation. Have no doubt, unless in a mudhut and self reliant it affects you, all over the world, you can not hide from this.
Aghh, a rant, am I allowed latitude in thought?
