Tralls, maybe I'm confused whether you are referring to individual rights, or something broader, in your reference to Bush & 1984 here.
Im not sure I follow you roachboy. Direct domination in terms of the subjugation of it's own citizens within or foreign countries without? I also don't understand the seeming oxymoron "soft totalitarianism'. This is like 'jumbo shrimp', or 'dry ice' or 'honest crook'.
Like I said, there's a lot wrong with America and there's a lot right with it too. In terms of the 1984 analogy, ie., how the state deals with the individual, its my opinion that America falls more on the 'pro-individual rights' end of the spectrum than the 'anti-individual rights' end.
