“The train of civil rights abridgments which picked up steam under Bush just keeps rollin’ with the Obama administration at the throttle. Just because you don’t think the state will persecute you today, remember that Japanese Internment wasn’t so long ago, or that according to Noam Chomsky ‘The most civilised part of the world, with the highest cultural standards 70 years ago was Germany. No more need be said.’ Just because the government appears less psychopathic or genocidal today does not mean it will be this way tomorrow.”
