I dont know where you live, but there are countries that you could get
shot as a subversive in. Not so many anymore, but Im thinking there are
still a few. We never said our government was perfect, just the best we
could do at the time. Check my sig. I know its long but its
applicable.

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty: power is ever stealing from
the many to the few. The manna of popular liberty must be gathered each
day, or it is rotten... The hand entrusted with power becomes, either
from human depravity or esprit de corps, the necessary enemy of the
people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be
prevented from hardening into a despot: only by unintermitted agitation
can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty
be smothered in material prosperity... Never look, for an age when the
people can be quiet and safe. At such times despotism, like a shrouding
mist, steals over the mirror of Freedom" - Wendell Phillips
