Afraid?  Get real.  No government is afraid of it's people.  Think
about it.  "Democracy"?  What, like your vote is going to affect the
balance of power?  Please.  Popular elections and the entire concept
of a democracy is just there to placate us while the government keeps
doing what it does best, which is GOVERN.  Big whoopdeedoo.

Please.  I live outside D.C., and I hang around with people employed
at NSA, Fema, the Pentagon, and every where else - the government is
definitely not trying to hide anything.  If anything, it's trying to
push more and more in your face so you will be so fucking scared: of
crime, of disease, of this, of that, so that you will gladly sit back
and let them make more laws. But to be totally honest, a government is
not an entity in the sense that it can plan in that capacity.  A
government is a collection of many disparate agencies, offices, and
"leaderships".  To think that a cohesive (and devious) plan would come
from all that is ridiculous.  In fact, it might just be the lack of
organization among all the various parts of the government that
creates the appearance of some sinister plot.

The basic idea of a conspiracy stems from a person's need to feel
important.  If there's a conspiracy, it helps legitimize their view of
the world revolving around them.  Trust me, you mean nothing to the
government, I mean nothing to the government, neither of us means
anything, even to the next guy.  Everyone's insignificant, nobody is
the center of the universe.  Most of the general public, having never
actually emerged from the dark ages like those of us in the top 2% of
the intellectual class, don't want to accept the fact that they are
inconsequential, insignificant, and most definitely not the primary
focus of at least one government agency.  I suppose it makes them feel
"valid" or something.

Wouldn't life be great if it happened the way some drug-affected,
low-salaried script writer envisioned it?
