I've been struck a lot lately with the similarities between the Bush-Regime US and the Iron Curtain nations in 1960s spy movies. Not only do we have government spying on its own people, but I had a personal experience with a road block that was like something out of the movie Stripes
Well whats your opinion of FDR in WW2 then? We have roadblocks here all the time just to check if we are wearing our stupid seatbellt. You would think the cops had more important reasons for trampling all over our rights than that.
