Don, I suppose this is in response to my posts?
My responses are consistently in favor of freedom, and pointing out the various ways, subtle and not so subtle, we keep losing it.
If there is a choice between having armed guards patrolling every school, and the one in a million chance of a student or students being shot in an unpatrolled school, I'll take the choice that doesn't turn schools into even more of a prison than they already are. Arming schools only prepares kids better than they're already being prepared, to be good little unquestioning drones in the Amerikan police and surveillance state.
I read about how every new car will soon have alcohol detecting ignition devices to go along with "black boxes." Sure, why not? Let's have surveillance cameras on every block and in every house, 30,000 drones in the air, random roadblocks, and all the other "new" trappings of "freedom." After all, government must eliminate any and every possibility of someone being accidentally hurt or killed. That of course is an impossibility but it's the mentality inculcated by the system, into which most Americans readily buy. Watch your neighbors, even as children watch their parents. Snitches and entrappers are around by the millions, even as the U.S. prison complex continues to expand.
Forced multiracialism and multiculturalism are the main enablers of the total surveillance state, but it's taboo or "racist" to even acknowledge the existence of the root causes of the country's plight (not taboo here of course). After all, everyone knows "diversity is our strength" and "democracy" (idiocracy), which was explicitly rejected by the Founders, is sacred. Giving government at all levels more and more power in response to problems they continue to create is the same as the Federal Reserve "printing" trillions and trillions of more "borrowed" dollars to give to the banksters and expecting the U.S. economy to somehow "grow" and create wealth and jobs when all that money isn't being used to create anything of value.
