Homeland Security: Forget about foreign jihadists getting nukes or planting bombs in their underwear. The real enemies, some say, are domestic militia groups who play at war and those nasty Tea Party racists. The raid on a Michigan militia group accused of plotting war against the government will no doubt feed into the arguments of those who claim in the wake of health reform that the vast right-wing conspiracy is not only angry, but armed and dangerous.

As I am noticing more and more and for a long while already, these commercials for the government of Canada about the Canada Economic Plan, I cannot help but notice some problems with it. Of course, on top of the fact that the government of Canada is actually abusing the money it confiscated from my earnings, not allowing me the necessary cash flow to survive, investing instead in its own not so cheap propaganda. First problem: This is collectivism. See it as communism, socialism, Nazism, whatever[ism]; it is collectivism. Second problem: The government asks ¿What is in there for you? So, the government is instigating individualism or more properly put selfishness. Through individualism, the government is obscuring individuality.
