by the words so long as there is any form of militia or armed people to control what and how people act in and of itself is a police state.
The very fact that you can speak out against as you do now, or wish to do on the street corner without police taking you away with no due process is very much a freedom afforded unlike other countries.
It doesn't matter how many examples, because see the examples change because the PEOPLE change. We don't live under the same single ruler for generations. While some things seem like the are similar on it's face, you could go into politics yourself and try to make a chane, unlike countries that are really police states.
