    Entity, if you know enough to ask this question, then you aren't far from knowing the answer. A businessman knows that, by raising the price of an item very slowly, people will be paying for it at quadruple its value without complaint. It's like boiling a frog in water which heats up so smoothly that the frog is dead before it knows it. The government is slowly taking America's freedoms away, using terrorism as their main excuse for doing so until they finally have an iron hold on the people who willingly gave away their liberties for protection.

    What liberty are we talking about when we don't even have one in own backyards on planet earth.

    Observe the mess we created for ourselves in following the Mummy back to the graveyards on planet earth.

    Try and decode this lyrics " Sing the song of Freedom " which the children had been crying for asking " Yesterday once more " on planet earth.

    I think what Bush wants from the Americans is perfectly in order considering the fact that the threat from the terrorists is real. Any establishment worth its salt needs to be vigilant against the mischiefs of the misguided elements. The Americans need to cooperate with their President rather than poking fun at him. They have stop expecting miracles from him.

    He tries to rule with fear. He wants you to think he has the good of the country at heart, but does nothing to help the middle class. He just uses them to fight his useless war. While allowing Mexico to invade the country. His last great effort was to stop lower price medicine to come in from Canada for the elderly , while allowing drugs to flood the country from Mexico.
