The US touts itself as a free and democratic country with, for instance, freedom of speech guaranteed under the Constitution. We are all aware of what many would see as liberties taken to the extreme. The right to bear arms with all the resultant mayhem is but one example where one can only shake one's head at the idiocy of taken liberty too far.
Post 9-11 the US has become almost paranoid about any further terrorist acts and trying to curb or prevent them. Enter the Patriot Act! With its introduction have come quite astounding challenges and incursions to everyday freedoms and rights.
Just read the latest [from the Washington Post] on what is happening in the US to see where things are headed in America. It won't be long before we face a similar situation in Australia if the Federal Government has its way - all in the name of anti-terrorist measures!
