I would really like to comment on your idiocy and naiveness but i simply don't have the time so here's my post which tries to warp everything up for those simple minded.
Oh, and for the last time READ do some simple
research on the ture workings of the government and the economy, become active in local politics, review laws that are actually being passed, and how it
restricts your constitutional rights.
BTW, the american dream
disappeared with the fifties. Not everyone can become elite. Look at reports on the concentration of wealth in the country and you'll soon find out.

Here's my other relevant post
---------------------------------
As for the USA Patriot Act
SEC. 802. DEFINITION OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM.
(5) the term `domestic terrorism' means activities that--`
(B) appear to be intended--
`(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
`(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
Again: If the activity appears to be intended to influence the policy of a government – not just the United States government – by intimidation, it’s domestic terrorism. Most important: Since all we require is intimidation, how would we define that?
"Intimidation" does not seem to be defined in H.R. 3162. We thus must turn to authoritative dictionaries, which say such things as "to make timid." Put it in the hands of a trial lawyer, and here’s how it could play out: Have you ever felt intimidated by someone smarter, larger, older, wealthier, higher in rank, more attractive, more physically fit, more passionate, or more popular than yourself? That’s all it takes to establish intimidation in court – being made timid. Get a jury or judge to buy your version of events, and you win.
So while intimidation is a weak criterion, far too easy to establish in a court of law, you don’t even have to establish anyone’s intent to intimidate, much less his success at intimidating someone. You, the prosecutor, have to establish only the appearance of the intention to intimidate any government, and you can try anyone for domestic terrorism.

As for other exeamples of the governments trickery and deception I point to these:
A stories of how the US wormed its way out of having to abide by the Geneva Conventions

http://globalresearch.ca/articles/PCJ201A.html
A culminating story which further allows the US to escape from being accused of international crimes. By way of blackmail.
http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/07 ... index.html
The unreported story of Bush's appointing of key government positions to those connected with the Iran-Contra affair

In responce to Admiral Piett,
As for the topic of politics and ideology,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The US is a power hunger imperialistic state that will do anything to gain more power.
Bush[/color] The Elite are bilthering idiots who cares only for money and power.
In a few years globalization and free market industry will cause a greater divide between the elite and the rest of the world.
The problems of today will escalate, wars will start, people will die, poverty, disease, and hunger will run rampant, and every last freedom that was granted to us will be gone, so it had never existed. (well that last one was a rant)
Therefore Grassroots Democracy with a Socialist Economy is what will best help the world. Not the curent state in which only the elite and wealthy are granted sustained prosperty and humane life.

The first three points I have learned through, years of research and active participitation in the international fourms. I can point to countless sources of information that you will find as speculative conjecture, by pure virutue of your bias. The rest of the world knows these facts and are doing something to stop it. And while capitalistic propganda might seem appealing, it does not shed light on the hard truth of what is being done. Such hypocrisy and misinformation has degraded our thoughts and erased our morals. We have been shown what they want to show, and taught what they want to teach, convinetly leaving out the facts about the suffering and pain they are creating through their selfish polices.
Two quotes that best come to mind are:
"The nationalist not only does not dissapprove of attrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them." -George Oewell
"Why of course the people don't want war... But after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, wheather it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dicatorship... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country...
-Hermann Goering, Nuremberg Trials
I believe that if we use our voice we can defend our freedom. Such things are expected of us as freedom loving people. To stop those who seek to control us, and those who wish to take advantage of others. While we in the west may not feel the effects of globalization and free-enterprise they are surely felt elsewhere. Wars to fuel riches and treaties to be broken are all common. As the poverty gap continues to grow a divide between the impoverished people of the world, the poor westerners and the rich westerners. As is common fact the top 1% of american citizens contorl more combined wealth than the entire bottom 99% of citizens. This is something which has been done by exploitation and illegal activities. As is seen by the recent corporate scandals. This action is no longer tolerable and we must do something to break the monoply of power that the rich continue to hold. The world cannot support their consolidation of wealth, a new lifestyle of relative equality for all of us needs to be implemented for to contiued survival of humanity.
Let us remember the words that were given to us over 200 years ago:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,"
The End... (i hope )
