2. Deny Constitutional Rights in the Name of Fear?

- If we'll kill a million using FEAR for greed and profit, then I'd say we screwed that pooch some time ago Glenn....

No one wants to, nor will they disarm themselves voluntarily in the face of such a CORRUPT government as ours. The USofA is the world's NUMBER 1 ARMS EXPORTER. We hold over 4,000 multiple-warhead nuclear weapons.

We have aging nuclear plants and with no one who wants the waste, it sits corroding in tanks and leaking underground (but hey its great if you want to make dirty bombs). And we now openly make our $$ by making wars on small countries and ripping-off other people's shit. In order for corporations to get richer.

We Drone-kill women and babies and then say ''whoopsies.'' We plunk down some money, say we're so, so sorry and are out the door. Then we go on with more Droning. More women and babies, more ''collateral damages of war.''

And now something NEW -- Americans can now apparently be targeted and killed by a STAR CHAMBER of unknown compliment. We're told we have to trust those who're just looking out for our interest. People must die. Process is no longer ''due.'' It's all in-house now, because secrets. So questions must go unanswered, for everyone's sake. And then people are asked to willingly disarm themselves to our saviors and protectors.

I would love a world with absolutely NO WEAPONS. I know it sounds crazy, but then I never thought I'd see a black President either. So I'll take a bold stance in my hopes and desires now, because why not? Such an unarmed world would mean that we will have evolved beyond our mistrust and barbarism into something greater than we are.

But I think we'll need to disarm our leaders of the power we given away to them, first.
