The Police State is closer than you think

Yes, I found another article that describes what has already taken place in this country. The bad part is that many people think that 'it can't happen here in America'. Unfortunately, the facts say that not only can it happen here in America, but that it has already happened. We've been so thoroughly indoctrinated that we don't understand where our basic legal protections come from, nor do we understand why they were instituted. I hope that we don't have to learn the hard way why and where they come from. From the looks of how this country operates today, we are, collectively, totally ignorant about law, civics, and our rights. It is time for us to learn the truth, and to defend our rights before we are all overtly enslaved.
