Why do so many, even here on DU, worry about increasing government control? Big Government never did much damage in the U.S., nor will it ever. It's our own addiction to comfort and convenience that is doing us in. The fact that so few people are in the streets calling for the arrest of the least-qualified sack of shit ever to occupy the White House illustrates how comfortable we are. Most people in the US still don't have a clue as to the overwhelming worldwide loathing of America and its policies, because gas is still cheap and TV is ever-more satisfying, down at that deep level of primal fear and hunger.

It's just dismaying to me to read so much Libertarian stuff on DU. Jack-booted troops aren't coming for us . . . they know we'll keep our appointment at the Shopping Mall.
