No conspiracies or complex plots hatched by the government are even required to pass laws restricting Americans' freedoms........it isnt that Americans dont deserve freedom, it is the fact they do not want it.....and if given it, wouldnt know what to do with it. Americans NEED Authority, CRAVE it, WANT it.....whEther in the form of God, Allah, their pastor, their priest, their rabbi, their boss at work, the HOA board, city council, the police, a teacher, Congress, the President, etc......
If an American doesnt have someone telling them what to do, when to do it, where to do it, and how to do it, they become hopelessly lost......unable to provide for themselves, directionless, purposeless.
Conspiracy theorists are just another herd of sheep located next to the other herd of sheep in the next pen over..."except their shepherds are Alex Jones, Jesse Ventura, and bad boy dazza.
