2006 BAD, 2007 WORSE?

From the events of the past year: Military Commissions Act (HR 6166); Pervasive government wire-tapping; Torture of "enemy combatants"; And constant media assisted "terror" fear-mongering, I can only expect more of the same for this "new" year.

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 (King James Version)
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.


What are we to expect this year? More erosion of civil-rights; Suspension of travel priviliges; More government intrusion into the everyday lives of law abiding citizens with the pretext of "Home-land Security".
Who knows? But, one thing is sure: We've come a long way, baby! And more of the "globalist" tricks will continue to transform our republic into a third-world dictatorship, for safety of course! And expect the "holy war on evil" to escalate; Also, "shock and awe" tactics will continue. My question is how much longer the citizens will tolerate "domestic shock and awe"? Are we still in the western hemisphere? Or, are we now in Limbo?
Or has our country become Colombia, or maybe Cuba? Who knows? I just can't put my finger on it any more.

Arsenio.
