America: Full of Pod People
How the Hell else can anyone explain the way things are going?

A place where advertisements are for telephones. Freaking PHONES!

A place where everyone is under surveillance (hey Kooool I See my street!).

A place where people are told to "watch what they say."

A place of Censorship.

Where is My Freedom?

1. Well, obviously you still have access to some sizeable cache of illicit drugs.
Which is more than most of us have got.

8. Hi yibbehobba!
Care to discuss? No. I didn't think so. You're one of those "old" scouts, eh?

Do I really think aliens have taken over the people who live in the USA?

No. But I watch the greedy fuckers brain wash them year after year. Election after election.

Why were You so quick to answer, huh?

12. Last Call!
To yibbe. Your use of illicit drugs should not be pushed upon other DUers.

Hope you get better soon!

4. Invasion of the body snatchers
The seed pods have given way to iPods and they're snatching freedom instead of bodies.

That's where your freedom has gone.

10. Afraid to be without their electonic devices
Sad to see so many people hooked in and a part from the natural world. Or any environment they are in.

So many people seem to be afraid to be alone and aware of their environment these days. They use their devices to pretend like they are not alone.

9. We are fortunate ..
to not be on the receiving end of what our government doles out to others in the name of 'freedom'.
"There was no corner of the known world where some interest was not alleged to be in danger or under actual attack. If the interests were not Roman, they were those of Rome's allies; and if Rome had no allies, the allies would be invented. When it was utterly impossible to contrive such an interest --why, then it was the national honor that had been insulted. The fight was always invested with an aura of legality. Rome was always being attacked by evil-minded neighbours...The whole world was pervaded by a host of enemies, it was manifestly Rome's duty to guard against their indubitably aggressive designs."
Joseph Schumpteter, Imperialism and Social Classes, 1919
