60% of Americans are of the opinion that the nation's security is more important than the privacy of its citizens. Given that there are relatively few regions on Earth more stable, safe and prosperous in the past few hundred years of history, it is a wonder how quickly a nation has gone back on key founding principles.

Here's an interesting article on the American Police State: www.huffingtonpost.com/jonath…

Here's a video of Bill Maher that went viral shedding some light on the topic.
"Once you start dressing an equipping people like an occupying army, they start acting like one."

Just some interesting points to consider!

I thought we learned all of this 40 years ago with the Stanford Zimbardo prison study. (www.prisonexp.org)

Dress people like guards, they act authoritarian. Dress them like commandos and guess what you'll get?
