Sadly, I think America is far too passive and apathetic to mount any sort of meaningful rebellion or take any action that would result in the collapse of government. Yes, a major terrorist attack (like with a nuclear weapon) would be tragic and shatter a lot of our way of life, but I think most people are just too damn lazy/stupid to put a response into action. It'd be like post-9/11 when the best people could do was to wave a bunch of little flags out the windows of their H2s and chat over mocha lattes about how they were going to pick up some gas masks.

We have been conditioned to be dependent on government for decades and unfortunately we now are - to the point we'll never be capable of serious action in the face of adversity. There are some exceptions, but largely I think it'd be lip service and any attempts at "looking out for onesself" would be squashed with the heavy hand of dozens or hundreds of cops, government agents, National Guard troops, or whatever kicking your door down and dragging your ass off to secret prison before it'd be given the chance to "send the wrong message".

Just keep your head in the sand and keep repeating "we're safer thanks to the Patriot Act. . . we're safer thanks to George Bush" the way they want you to. Nothing to see here. . .
