don't be a clown. we had 2 world wars last century, or had you forgotten? or going back even further, i wonder how our present governments would handle a good old-fashioned plague epidemic. on a historical scale, the events of september 11th are a nothing. the present threat of terrorism is a nothing, compared to the threats of full-scale war, plague, famine and disaster that people had to live through for 30,000 years - and for most of that timescale,
without corrupt and ineffectual governments already making their daily lives difficult.

You must be joking! Where do you think dubya and jebya LEARNED how to be so evil?
actually mostly from their reagan-era government hacks, i suspect - turds like cheney and rumsfeld. i don't think GHW had enough personality to influence his inbred spawn to any significant degree.

Here's a little surprise for you. It's not us against the government. The government is us.
for all i know, the government might be you - but it sure as hell ain't me. i didn't vote for any of them; hell, i didn't even choose who was up for election, and neither did you, nor anyone else here. all you did was make your mark next to the name of someone who'd already been chosen for you by institutionalized politics.

Putting them against the wall is all well and good in the movies but sadly that's make-believe.
well, maybe it's about time that it wasn't. i dunno about you, but i sure as hell never signed any "social contract" that obliges me to accept the unconditional authority of some lying, thieving psychopath who's never even met me. my respect has to be earned - it won't be squeezed out of me through fear of reprisal.
