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. . .
I believe you have spent too much time in the sun far removed from reality or perhaps just too much CA goverment hokus pokus. Spend some time in a small community where goverment is the people and fire and ems services are done by volunteers. The grassroots work is done by volunteers not big goverment.
