" The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to the point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or any controlling private power. " ----FDR I'm not sure why the use of the word fascism is treated with such disdain in the media. As if it doesn't exist all around us. Odd. Comcast buying Disney, Clear Channel buying everyone, Broadband taking over the net....it's all alarming and so few are actually alarmed. I think we've been spoiled into dreaming that it can't happen here.
