"The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them." -George OrwellCenter for Constitutional Rights ccrjustice.orgccrjustice.org NORML is a nonprofit lobbying organization working to legalize marijuana, stop arrests of smokers, provide educational research, and legal information on marijuana prohibition ... www.norml.org Most Americans start out on the wrong foot when thinking about their government. They trust first, and doubt or question, only later -- if ever. This is the wrong way to think about a massive institution like our government, which has a monopoly over the power of coercion, and that acts in our name under cover of secrecy. Most Americans reject outright any comparison of post 9/11 America with the fascism and totalitarianism of Nazi Germany or Pinochet’s Chile. Sadly, the parallels and similarities, between those societies and America today, are all too compelling.”The reason congressmen try so hard to get re-elected is that they would hate to have to make a living under the laws they've passed.
