I fear it is too little too late, though,

This brings up your other thread about the french. If their government so much as looks at them cross eyed, lyons and paris are shut down. What is it going to take to get us out in the streets? Uniting as a whole seems to be the best solution for to the problem of individual liberties. Before we are broken down into isolated shadows afraid of acting out in even the most token expressions of protest.

I"m actually curious, what will it take?

On this side of the drink we have seasoned iraqi veteran batallions moving in and being stationed on the homeland, effectively shredding the writ of posse comitatus, which prohibits our own army actively operating on our own soil. Its one of those things like Sula marching onto Rome. Its just never even been imagined. But that's exactly why it will work for them.

actually no. I was thinking, after this bill goes into effect, we could set up a site along the lines of Amihotornot.com or amigothornot.com, where people can post pictures of police in action and everyone can rate how fascist the picture is on a scale of one to ten.

i lol'd

i mean it's funny reading this whole thread
i'm sitting here thinking no one beats us in perversions of democracy and liberty. we were the new kids on the block. everything was supposed to go right but we just upped the ante of the weird and reprehensible by also being better at strategically hiding it/positioning it so no one gave a shit.

it was amusing to read of similar european legislation because it just seemed like such potatoes.

but damn, we're getting a run for our money here. you've got a ways to go but.. man.
