In a stunning indictment of sweeping policy changes during the Bush years, best-selling author Naomi Wolf (The Beauty Myth) makes a chilling case that American democracy is under threat. Investigating parallels between our current situation and the rise of dictators and fascism in once-free societies, Wolf uncovers a number of deeply unsettling similarities-from the use of paramilitary groups and secret prisons to the targeted suspension of the rule of law. With this galvanizing call to arms based on her recent book, she urges regular citizens to take back our legacy of freedom and justice.
It's the end of "everything" as we used to know it.
How are you doing, MaddMaxx? Hope well.

You're dreaming if you think that will happen. We can't even take back our Federal tax money going to pay for more terrorism in Gaza and you think freedom and justice will prevail? What part of 60% of your earnings going to taxation for redistribution purposes wasn't enough to trigger a revolution already if one was forthcoming? And that's besides the business taxes built in to the retail cost of consumer goods even before the sales taxes.

Not as good as I would have hoped. I should start another thread on that.

Since you asked Artie, have you heard about the Connecticut legislature trying to regulate the churches?
