So who else is resigned to the fact that they will be "taken" eventually
Edited on Thu Aug-24-06 12:09 PM by shadowknows69
as in taken by the government in some way. I'm starting to fully believe that if things progress on their current course that I won't be able to remain, I don't want to say silent because I certainly haven't been that, but obedient to all the new laws (and some old ones that I don't obey anyway) that will eventually further strangle our liberties and privacies. I don't have enough money to fight the good legal fight, I only have a brain and a voice but I fear that will even be loud enough someday for them to decide I'm worthy of charges of sedition. Some folks on other discussion boards already do think that of most of us more than likely.

So, who is going to join me in our shiny new detention centers? Any future or current dissidents care to stand and be counted for Agent Mike?

2. resigned maybe? I think that way subconsciously

3. I did mean resigned, thank you
I would like to make that clear Agent Mike. I'd really rather you NOT come for me.

5. I need to put on both hats for this...
Edited on Thu Aug-24-06 12:16 PM by TwoSparkles
...Ok,I've got on my tin-foil hat--and also my paranoia hat.

There are days that I wonder if they're monitoring everything--
including liberal blogs and boards--to make lists of everyone
with opposing viewpoints.

My husband said something interesting. He said, "If I was Karl
Rove or one of those other evil bastards, I'd start progressive
boards and blogs just to draw them in and get them talking.
I'd know who they were and their IPs, and those against me
would be the first to go."

So, I got that going for me. Which is nice.

/takes off tin-foil and paranoia hats, so I can go about
the rest of my day NOT in a fetal position. :)

7. Watch yourself, there!
Wearing the tin-foil hat in combination with glue fumes can be very hazardous!

I might have to try it sometime though.

:)

12. The recent rulings
that Bush instantly appealed so that means he goes unchecked until the next ruiling until it gets to his Supreme Court. Tin foil hat still stuck sorry.

13. Personally,
I think they're a lot wacko, and melodramatic as all get out. Even if it's true, one can't live life obsessing about. It's more important to work toward making sure such things never come to pass. And that's one reason the 2006 elections are so important.

11. Not me, baby. I got the hookup. I'll run off into the mountains and
live like it's 1850. Unless they swoop in all of a sudden in the middle of the night. My family survived WWII in Paris without one soul taken... Grandma got the weekly visits from the SS, though. We've seen that before and came out on top, we can do it again, I don't even question it. We'll come bust y'all out first chance we get :P

16. I would hope for you, too. May it never come to that - we can do better
methinks. America isn't Germany, at heart we're a rebellious culture, or at least we were.

17. Seeing as I already have a Secret security clearance, I'm not too worried.
If the government trusts me to tell Air Force One where to fly, I don't think they'll "disappear" me some night.

18. Not me, I work for the government!
I wonder how much being a guard pays? If it's more than $48,000, I'm transferring!

...they look like nice enough guys---they'll probably just check to make sure our papers are in order and then be on there way...

20. We Will Decide To Stay or Leave Immediately After The '08 Election
We will sell everything and leave the country if a Republican takes the next election (presuming there is a next election). Otherwise I expect we will disapear.
