You are a fool.
By all means, believe in fairy tales, don't let me dissuade you. Fantasy is an important part of one's life. Please don't insult my intelligence, or that of the folks who are on the pointy end of that with your "chicken little" bull**. Like in police work, you have to have probable cause.
But you don't give a f**k about that, of course, you have a cute little fantasy of tyrrany that it makes you feel better to hold.
If that is what America is, and was, Canada would not be a free and separate nation today: we'd have taken you over decades ago.
Chew on why we don't, and didn't, and why we won't. I am not talking about America, that quaint little collection of colonies experimenting in a new form of government who traded for most of a century under the protection of the Royal Navy's "freedom of the high seas" policies, I refer to Post T.R. America, a country who makes a difference on the world stage.
Chew on who built, and spent the critical formative years empowering, the U.N. Chew on who rendered it valid, in 1950, by our blood and force of arms, and those of a "coalition of the willing." (Yeah, one of the Big Five did not bother to show up then, no news anywhere, just history you don't know.) Chew on all of that while you whine in your weakness, your impotence, and your paralysis by analysis. Chew on why you put some people in jail pending trial. Chew on why you interrogate prisoners who have ties to the Mafia. Chew on why you have to do a lot of dirty damned things to take out crooks and murderers.
And while you are at it: what is your better idea that will work? The world is dying to know, as am I.
