Unfortunately, I think that you're probably right.
BTW anyone ever read the books of Ezekial or Daniel?
I'm not a huge Bible thumper but it sure looks like we're heading in that direction.
Here's what I fear, that one day we'll lose a city, then the government will step in and start curbing freedoms (speech, firearms, etc) and since probably most people around these days want peace more than anything else, and they don't understand or appreciate the freedoms that we have, they'll let the government run their lives. At that point, the bad guys have won.
*And I'll have to seceed from the union and start a new conferderacy based on the original constitution, so someone save a copy. Preferably in English.
