i do hope you are being sarcastic, if not though then an education is in order. a police state is not about the cops responding to 911 calls, its about the government intruding on your life at all levels, and punishing you for doing or saying things the government doesnt like. its all about government control of your life.
A police state is having a mandatory border patrol check point charlie pull over 100 miles from the border
The last time I got pulled over for this mandatory "check" I told them that they'd find more illegals and cartels on the back roads, not US 77, a nice 4 lane road to the coast.

Do I personally believe that power is turned over because I ask nicely? No, I believe in the profound words of the famous statesman and social reformer Frederick Douglass, “Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
The same happened with most OWS groups..they fell apart.
I wondered about that seeing it all happened right around the same time all over the country.

At least the people I knew were not, and making that assumption without evidence is dishonest.

If smoking weed is the only way to become paranoid, I would like to see evidence of that.



The word is paranoid, and yes Hitler was paranoid.

I don't see how Hitlers paranoia affected how people fell in love with that monster. It's a non-sequitor argument.

Nor does it say anything about the number of paranoid mentally ill people out there.
I am not talking about paranoid..I wasn't saying Hitler was paranoid.. I am talking about paranoia.. I am saying Hitler was real and it is not paranoia to know that monsters exist. I am using Paranoia as a noun not as a descriptive word.. I know what I wrote and I am saying that paranoia should not be used as looking at crazy radical leaders.. They are real.

That sums up the platform of the Democratic Party quite nicely.
