This is just a rebuttal to the tired argument that "if you think we have it bad go to __(insert 3rd world country)_________". Just cause they have it worse/we have it better does not make it right. Bush and Kerry are both lesser of two evil candidates, the victor doesn't become right when he wins. Say as we inch closer and trad on a little liberty everytime something happens we will eventually end up in the fire. You don't jump into a swimming pool if you don't want the shock of realizing how fucking cold it is. You ease your way in until your all the way there and its normal and find. So we are going to tread on a little liberty at a time to the point where we are soaked in a pool of government regulation that runs every facet of our life.
That may be the day you envy a third world country. With the technology and resources of the United States it would certainly make some militant junkie keeping you in your home. In the US with the amount of media we have it would be an endless stream of shit shoved into your head, the technology to track your every move. They won't even need the guard at the corner. It will infest your home and your life.
This is not where we are at now, but a future possibly. Its The Patriot Act now. Maybe Communication Regulation for Freedom Act next, the Public Disarment for Liberty Amendmant, and the Embedded Identification Act of 2025.
