It's easy to sit back and make claims of somebody being paranoid, even in the face of obvious everyday incidents pointed out to you that establish the OP's viewpoints in a very factual manner. Whether I come across as vehemently anti-authority or not is irrelevant, or should be, if one has the ability to take past accounts in to the equation as well and see the big picture of what is being presented to you.
Would 'the slippery slope' argument make better sense to you if I were to write an 8 page essay documenting 30 years of increasing abuse by the government? You seem to agree with it well enough when you decry Bush/Cheney and the other evil republicans as well as including the do-nothing dems lately. With each post I make concerning ever increasing violence by cops against citizens or encroachment of rights by legislatures, or outright and blatant removal of rights by the judiciary, I receive ever increasing calls for me to stop, get back in touch with reality, or recommendations to see a psychotherapist. If you choose to bury your heads in the sand, I cannot help you anymore.
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get me.....or you.

If anything the government is under more scrutiny than in the past. With easy video and being able to post about anything on the internet things which wouldn't have made ink 30 years ago are now mainstream stories.
I think your basic premise is just wrong. You can write an 8 page essay if you like, or perhaps some other forum poster can teach how to find find 8 pages to cut and paste over, but from what I've SEEN, I'd still say you were wrong.
I doubt captain stupid would have even had his day in court 30 years ago.
