30. I can remember the first time
I felt a shiver of fear over the realization that the bush administration could lock me up without reason and noone could do anything about it. I never felt that during the Clinton administration or any prior administration. This attitude of intimidation comes right from the top and it works because it is scary to speak out against them. The only thing money has to do with it, is we hear about the people with money and fame speaking out. Watching what happens to them (the hate spewing from the RWers) tends to make everyone else 'careful about what they say' as Ari would say....
