Paranoid? I'm sorry, have you removed your head from the sand at any point in the past year? You've mentioned in previous posts that you're thankful for particular amendments to your constitution. Your government is currently engaging in a systematic and aggressive teardown of said constitution. Without consulting anyone outside of the state apparatus. And which arm of the state is largely carrying out these attacks? The repressive arm. Police and military.

Perhaps if you come up for air (and sun, it's good for you) you'll see that discussion about police states is both relevant and extremely important at this time. Many people don't want to dive head-first off the cliff with you.
