Wendy McElroy: Measuring the Extent of a Police State

mcelroy2

“There is a key difference between America and most police states. In East Germany, the average person knew he lived under tyranny and he did not expect justice to result from petitioning the tyrant. In America, many if not most people still trust the government enough to believe in reform rather than in the quiet revolution of saying ‘no.’ They still listen to the mainstream media, no matter how bitterly they complain about it. Nothing else can explain why people surrender their liberty and money in return for broken and retreaded promises. Even if America is a police state, it’s not intuitively obvious how far the process has progressed. All states violate rights. When does one become totalitarian?”
