Come on! Let's see some proper debating! You got it baby! Well, a police state is a fascist state. But you can have a fascist state without martial law. How? When the people are too afraid to speak out. And Americans are a fearful bunch. The USA PATRIOT Act gave the American government vast new authority, including secret searches without probable cause, detaining and deporting immigrants without a hearing, and expansion of government spying on political protesters, poverty groups, and minority organizations. When it came to the war on Iraq, the administration’s lies about Iraq’s "weapons of mass destruction" and its supposed ties to Usama bin Laden showed a sneering contempt for ordinary people little different from Hitler’s. "The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the great masses of the nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and purposely evil," Hitler - Mein Kampf

AND he reads Runaways, another really good book, go get the back issues. So please please stop tarring whole groups with your brush. Oh, and if I didn't mention it? Please please please go read Astonishing X Men. I am not connected to Marvel, Joss, or Stan Lee in any way. I am, however, a mutant.

Quote:I recall it being passed by the House of Commons, but don't know enough about Canadian politics to know what else would be needed for it to pass.
Quote:The re-emergence of fascist type policies and ideologies is unfortunately not limited to the U.S. The learned lessons of the mid-20th century are dying off with those who experienced them first hand I guess. Inreasing nationalism, increasing ethnic polarization, increasing disparity between the haves and have-nots, increasing centralized authority within governments, increasing dominance of corporate power, decreasing concern for civil liberties and human rights all seem to be the unfortunate trend. Um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm Angry. And I'm Armed.
