I believed in liberty and justice for all. I believed that America would meet any challenge in a dignified and respectable way - that good would always wins over evil. Then I went to university. Then I moved to another country. By the way - there are some interesting analogies to the Romans - no need to keep the Nazi thing going. Roman history offers a lot. ;-) I was born and grew up in America and believed in it. I believed in liberty and justice for all.

There is a 4th Reich of plutocratic elites who enjoy a level of "security" unparalleled in the history of the world, while the rest of us are terrorized or coerced into submission. These "uber" gentlemen are outwardly respectable and inwardly as rotten as their counterparts in the 3rd Reich. There is no US anymore; at least not in the sense we were taught it is civics class.

"Security" used to mean: adequate meals, adequate housing, adequate clothing, unlimited access to education, secure, jobs, secure retirement, adequate health care, adequate leisure time, paid vacations, respect, dignity, protection against abuse,... There is no security in the US! It is interesting how the rulers change the meaning of the words, and then we are forced to listen to it too!
