If you want to know how little freedom you have just consider the new homeland security act Bush brought into place. It means:
1. Your home can be entered and searched without a warrant
2. You can be arrested and held without a given a charge or legal counsil
3. You can be prisoned without trial for an indefinite period
This is all because you could be a 'terrorist'
This act has taken all the civil rights and liberties away from people, and it was done quietly and without question because you were at 'risk'
Read your history, Bush's speach about homeland security was just a german to english translation of Hitlers speach on 'homeland security' with the intentional buring of the reichstag being the precursor to the second world war
Every institution on earth exists for a reason, for ultimate power and control of weak people
Be it a government, a monetary system, a religious system or an education system, they all exists to give the majority of power and control to a handful of people
We have a saying "life isnt fair"
It is for this reason life is not fair. The powerful will not give up control they have worked hard to take
I'm sure if one looked at the earth from a non human perspective they would ask why gated communities are found right next to slums, why human kind cannot share among its own common man
Elect any government you want, and any president
They are the head of the country, the elite being the neck that turns them any way they choose
