1. Watch 'Survivor'
And keep heads firmly up their ass. Just as they have done for 7 years.

3. It's extremely unlikely to happen. And if it does it won't happen
in a way resembling what's transpired in Pakistan. But suspending reality for a moment, let's say it does. In that case, you will see millions in the streets. Americans will not take kindly to martial law.

5. I first of all don't see it as being extremely unlikely and it is happening...
right before your very eyes... Just ask the people that have done much research on Germany during the rise of Hitler such as Naomi Wolf... I'm afraid the longer that we tell ourselves that it can't happen here.... Were just fooling ourselves... I firmly believe that Pakistan is a test case for this country by the Bush Administration to see how much Resistance there will be there.

10. no, what's happening before my eyes is an erosion
of the Constitution, not an overthrow of it. And I actually have two Masters in history- one in a field connected to the rise of fascism in German, and one in the types of Millenarianism in the 19th and 20th century- also connected. Yes, it can happen here. But I'm willing to bet that bush does not declare martial law, disband the Congress, Arrest dissenting SC Justices, and cancel elections. It's good to recognize the steps that are paving the way for that eventuality, and still maintain some perspective. If you actually believe that Pakistan is an experiment run by the admin, you're living in an alternate world.
