  The National Guard has been asking soldiers if they would fire on American citzens. There was an article on Right Coast blog about it.

  To create a praetorian guard; ask 100 soldiers if they would fire on their own, statistically 20-30 say yes.

  Not for too long, I at least posted it on my facebook so the few who care enough to check it out can spread the word. There aren't many who'll listen to this. Such a shame.

  Thanks Marique-smart thinking in the internet wilderness.

  It's sad and a bit frightening that only you and I have made comments. People will wake up after their rights are diminished.

  Oh this is not good, an understatement.  It reminds me of a novel by George Orwell called 1984.

  The novel, published in 1949, takes place in 1984 and presents an imaginary future where a totalitarian state controls every aspect of life, even people's thoughts. The state is called Oceania and is ruled by a group known as the Party; its leader and dictator is Big Brother.

  Winston Smith, the central character, is a thirty-nine year old man living in London. He secretly hates the Party and decides to rebel by starting a diary in which he reveals his rebellious thoughts. Through keeping a diary, Winston commits thoughtcrime and knows that one day he will be discovered by the Thought Police and probably killed.
  
  Winston is fascinated by "proles," the lowest class in the social hierarchy of Oceania. They are the only group allowed to live pretty much as they like without heavy police surveillance. He befriends Mr. Charrington, the prole owner of a junk-shop, who shares his interest in the past and life before the rule of Big Brother, the government who rules them all.  People had no personal rights, not even to voice how they feel.  They were watched and monitored all the time and killed if they stepped out of line in any way.
  
  It seems to me that life is heading in that direction and it is so awful.  I watch daily as human rights go down the tube.  This drone bill is just another step to total domination.  It is a sad and sorry state of affairs. Soon we will not have any rights at all. I am hoping ascention comes before it gets to that state.
