Some random thoughts...

1. You can take the government to court and win if they exceed their powers. That simple fact (rule of law) proves we are not in a fascist state. A real fascist government would just lock you up for criticising them online (which would obviously constitute a "national security threat").

2. Does the fact that we have speed limits and road rules constitute "violence of a police state"? Why can't I drive on BOTH sides of the road? I mean, at any point in time, a whole 50% of the road that MY TAXES PAID FOR, that I'm not allowed to use! You're right - I'm being oppressed!

3. If there are no police (because they are just oppressors used to enforce the will of the elite) and someone is waiting to mug you when you leave the house... you might call that "freedom", but I don't.

4. Blind faith in authority is indeed the greatest enemy of truth. That's why I'm sending you links to articles about how the scientists got it wrong. I'm waiting for you to show anything other than blind faith in your chosen authority... (Did you really think Einstein was on your side?)

By the way, I'm fairly certain that you're a lovely chap - kind to animals and donate to charities. Just because I disagree with you, doesn't mean I think you're a bad person. I wanted to put it out there that this is just an exchange of views - not some kind of crusade.
