Zeta, yes, so you understand more than others, given your father's experiences. My dad also came from a totalitarian state where neighbors informed on neighbors and everyone's actions were controlled. He is almost apoplectic with alarm at over what is happening. I'll tell you the real problem is that Americans don't believe it can happen here. They honestly believe we're immune from government workers doing bad things. It's a naivete that I think we'll all learn to regret deeply.
