But that comfort can't last much longer. Once Americans can't fill their H3 with gas to go to Starbucks is when you'll see some kind of revolt.

Thank you Ego. Jerry Springer this is exactly what I mean. You remain comfortable and so long as they dont get in your way you dont care that thousands of your own countrymen are being oppressed and live in fear.

In my understanding you are straght up wrong. The government is not made up of the people. It is made up of rich elites who have interests that they feel are justified, but I feel are wrong doings because they have a tendency to trample rights and freedoms of Americans and citizens of the globe abroad.
