3. Do a gradual withdrawl for a bit

Don't wanna shock you system any more than the daily news already does

I hear ya on this one. There is NO democracy if parts of the government are telling US how it's gonna be.

Edited to add:

Write LTTE and your reps in Congress. Let them know you consider this threat against the nation to be unacceptable. Write LTTE and motivate others in your community to raise their voices on this issue.

A little positive action will make you feel somewhat better.

5. No, not at all. But if you feel your health is being threatened

(I can occasionally feel my blood pressure rise at some of the absurdities I read about being foisted on us), then it's time to take measures to protect yourself.:)

4. Another day, another impeachable offense

8. But we all know it's not EVER going to happen.

That nazi fascist bunch of assholes should have been gone a long time ago. Bu$h is an idiot moron who will NEVER have to pay for his crimes.Everyone keeps turning a blind eye to all the horrible shit that is happening.The congress critters are a disgrace for letting this continue,but come November we will see the same old tired worn out 'bags under the eyes' bastards put right back in their seats,so get a huge jar of vaseline folks,because we are going to continue to get screwed.

9. I know exactly what you mean...

Reading the headlines this morning has just made me feel so enraged -

-The NSA illegal data mining (at least it got the front page of USA Today)
-The woman in Cleveland who's on trial for posting anti-war flyers has been ordered by that crazy judge to undergo psych evaluation because he says she's delusional if she thinks * is guilty of war crimes (welcome to the gulag)
-The headline about the Democracy for America hard drives being seized by DHS (I haven't read the story yet, I'm waiting for the steam currently blowing out my ears to stop)

Those three stories - just three stories, and I'm so pissed I could spit nails all day. What is happening in this country? Are we the only people who realize something is very wrong?

But it's like watching some bizarre freak show - I can't look away, because something may happen that I HAVE to know about immediately, something that might be the final clue that tells me to pack everything and run. I feel that this is getting really scary...although I'm not near as scared as I am angry, and I'm not sure that's a good thing!

10. If you'd just be a good citizen and go watch Lost or Survivor,

NSA wouldn't be a problem for you. They're only interested in "terrorists", you know.

11. Ditto....I am sick and tired of this.
