It's a start for you to find more about it on your own if you even care.

My concerns, where politics are indicated, focus upon verifiable trends occurring in a tangible world. These days, central to them is America's slow slide toward collectivism coupled inextricably with an erosion of private property rights and individual liberties - fueled in no small part, I might add, by unwitting socialists such as yourself.

Call it a thesis and your job is to confirm it or knock it down.

But it's not my thesis. It's yours.

Here again - and I suppose I should give up on ever getting any type of a lucid or direct answer on this: from where stems this ludicrous, demented twist whereby I should do anything to support your claims?

It must be a unique rule deriving from a conspiratorial malaise, as it's nothing like what goes on in the professional or academic world. And I wryly note that it affords you the ability to perpetuate the delusional framework, keeping the spark alive without the burdensome responsibility of evidence (see below).

But do something besides scoff.

I'm sorry, but my skepticism remains intact. When you give me another option, perhaps there will be something to do besides scoff. Note again these unanswered questions:

Prove there are no concentration camps in the US ready for occupants. Start with the Director of Resource Management for the U.S. Army and then call Congressman Henry Gonzales and ask if he really said that.

So not only is the burden of proof for your wistful tales on me, now, but I've got to prove a negative by contacting political and military figures? ROFL!

Stop being so lazy and trying to run me around in circles.

All I have done, and will continue to do, is simply ask you to support your claims. I don't think it's too much to expect a fifth grade level of argumentative rigor, do you? It's you who are ducking questions and "run[ning]...around."

Do something yourself if you really care.

What makes you think I'm not? There is a world outside SI, as you probably know, but flimsy, conspiratorial tripe doesn't go as far out here. You've probably discovered that by now, which might account for your desire to push the burden of documentation onto other, more stringently questioning individuals.

I can't locate the site again where I copied that quote. I have too many bookmarks to go through.

And there it is.

I can't say I'm surprised, though. Do you think I'd have pushed the issue if I thought you were going to come up with something?

I believe he said it because Total Information Awareness is here now.

Well, there's one way to find out, isn't there? (Hint, hint; here's your big chance.)

Open your eyes.

LOL. Uh-huh...
