Yes X,

But to me, right now, as in many societies, throughout the ages, "right" always seems to LAG BEHIND "might" (an unknown fear of others)". I think I know why.. Actually, I know why, with the masses, it is a primal thing.. "Fear of Might" of others..? (an unknown fear) always prevails over the common response of "RIGHT" when it comes to the ignorant as to fear.. And that is why the mongers work on fear, FIRST, unfortunately.... To do their dirty deeds :(

The same idea, expressed in different words:

<<< The Bush administration are not conservatives; they are statist reactionaries. They want a very powerful state, a huge state in fact, a violent state and one that enforces obedience on the population. There is a kind of quasi-fascist spirit there, in the background, and they have been attempting to undermine civil rights in many ways. >>>
