Things are working fine....If I can see a clear example of US troops kicking doors and arresting citizens or rounding up people for speaking out then I'll gladly join ur revolution. Nobody here has been affected by the Patriot act or the wire tapping so relax. I'd be more worried over all the bullshit laws passed by local governments limiting all the normal things we do every day. Permits for eveything/smoking bans etc etc.
Federal Government: "We want a National ID"
State Government: "We have some concerns with individual privacy and personal liberty, we need to discuss this"
Federal Government: "Agree to the ID or your citizens don't fly in commercial airplanes"
You don't have a problem with this?
So as long as you can go into a bar, have a smoke, a beer, and watch the game, all is well eh?
