[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 594155, member: 13650"]That's the policy for now and perhaps for the past 100 years. I'm saying look back over several thousand years at what has happened with various governments which lead to their demise. Whether at their own hands or by another country or countries. Just because we're supposedly 'modern' and 'civilized' means nothing. It's actually a handicap because whatever vigilance there may have once been is long gone. (Just read the replies I'll likely get to this ;)) From what I understand, before all is lost there's usually a final power grab to take whatever they can from the people before everything collapses. Note that the typical democracy lasts for 2-300 years before transitioning to something else. A democracy being a temporary, transitional form of government anyway. Would a box be safe tomorrow and for the next couple of years? Perhaps. Sure, most likely. For the next 50-100 years? Lets just say I wouldn't bet on it. May sound crazy but anymore, I think people need to start thinking outside of the box. No pun intended.[/QUOTE]
