1. Great thread, WA.
I've joked on another thread that I feel like I was Rip Van Winkle. I went to sleep one night, and when I awoke, everything had changed. Radically. It was not for 25 years, it was just one night. But everything was different. My government had changed. It was now a menacing, hostile government with a Game Plan. It was a corporate agenda. And we, the people, stood in its way of achieving its objectives. Or rather, we could be a part of this NEW PLAN, but not as participants but rather as cogs in a wheel, or slaves.

It didn't take me very long to figure out that this new government was not on my side. It was my enemy.

What to do? It took months for me to even confirm my suspicions that this really was true. When I finally accepted the truth of this Brave New World, I started to think about the ramifications.

What on earth is to become of this Nation that once stood for truth and justice? What will the future have in store for us? Will we take back our coutry?
