Sometimes I think I am the only one in the country who is paying attention. Isn't anyone else deeply concerned by the fact that we truly have become a fascist state? Its legal to wiretap American citizens phones with almost no judicial oversight. We have abandoned the Geneva Convention and ignore the human rights of all of our detainees.
Basically, we are no longer the "good guys." We are the axis of evil. We are the cause of the problems in the world. I just feel like I am shouting into an empty room, or to a room full of zombies because no one else cares enough to look into this.
From our treatment of the anthrax suspect, who is clearly not guilty and was probably murdered by our government: http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/08/04/anthrax/index.html.
To the horrific things our government is doing to protect our "liberty": http://www.salon.com/src/pass/sitepass/spon/sitepass_website_refresh.html
To the way we treat immigrants and detainees: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/13/nyregion/13detain.html?pagewanted=1&ei=5070&en=77bb5a81d2b72cd7&ex=1219291200&adxnnl=1&emc=eta1&adxnnlx=1218729625-oD4FmOH9CKqCMKKByYYlVA
We live in a police state, but we are all too comfortable with our cable tv, nice cars and pretty houses to care. We have become sheep, and the government is clearly herding us to our collective death (or at the least detainment)
