Pisshead and UnitedWeFall just don't get it. In ever attempt to stop a mass-murder attack on the nation, people of this element will see it as a way to increase governmental power. They worry about the potential to abuse the power over the looming threat. A threat of a calibur that's not at all unlikely or even remotely avoidable given the unity, dedication, and fealty of those who want us dead given that they are left un-opposed.

I don't know about you, but I'm just guessing a democratic government has more potential to put an overpowered government back in check versus staying calm and united as a nation after 40 nukes go off in major cities.

But hey, what do I know. I follow this crazy line of logic called sanity.
