Do Americans Care About Big Brother?

[Ducimus]

Sure people care, trouble is, we are a complacent society - snug and secure in the knowledge that, "This is America, that doesn't happen here."

Big brother, wrong doing, dictator like person taking power, war crimes, etc; all the bad things that have transpired throughout the history of mankind - not possible here. We're raised from birth to believe that only happens in those "other" nations across the seas; never here.

Not saying i believe that, just illustrating how complacent i believe we are. I also beleive that because of that we are also prime pickings for anyone who subscribes to Hermann Goering's philosphy. ( http://www.snopes.com/quotes/goering.asp )

edit: eer well at least up until Bush Jr,. People are waking up to some extent. The Boogeyman tactic has been overused. You know i guess well see come election time.

Or Adolf Hitler's: "What luck for rulers, that men do not think."
