There are those that think they have gained control and want to reshape the country in their own mold. There are always groups that want to do that. This is closely related to the U of Col. student you talk about. You can't trade freedom for security, although there are always those who are willing to do that. It was such an attempted trade that brought the Nazis to power. They were concerned with communists and terrorists, we are concerned with Islamics and terrorists. The dress and accents are different, but the concept is the same. Sorry if you feel I am putting you down or playing generation games. I am not. God knows I don't think people my age are any special founts of wisdom, they are the ones most responsible for voting Dubya in. I am glad you are more aware than the impression I got. I do apologize. Returning to the prepping, what about the overt media manipulation that the Administration is doing? Not only did they pay those pundits to pontificate on cue, they apparently are dealing with pseudo-journalists who even use fake names. If atro-turfing wasn't bad enough... And no, I don't really care that the guy was also running a number of gay porn sites. The real story is that the Administration is actively faking the news. Not only through spin, but faking the ones reporting the spin. I guess the next step is to resurrect Max Headroom and pretend he is a real reporter too...
