yeah, dictatorships aren't built overnight, and martial law doesn't happen overnight. it's the frog in the pot, you turn up the heat in slow incremental steps...and it should be pretty obvious which direction the country's been going, especially in the last 15 years.

new york city for the RNC was a good example of martial law. when police round up hundreds of people in orange nets and take them to a makeshift concentration camp in a condemned bus depot with grease and chemicals on the floor, and you have no charges, judge or jury and are detained until the emperor leaves, that's not freedom.

and when you aren't allowed to take pictures and the cops grab your camera and rip the film out, that's not freedom.

cities around the country can have thousands and thousands of cameras watching us...but what do they have to hide?
