On a dime

A government will mimmick the character of it’s leader.
Look at how concerned the government is with image, how much precaution it takes to not look bad in the media. It has learned how to preserve and reflect the character of it’s leader. Ambassador’s change their policy on a dime to mirror his platform. Rules, regulations, even tightened security is arranged to follow the directions of the guy in charge. It sucks now because our leader thinks he needs to sacrifice our freedoms to maintain our security.

There is no place to run to anymore. We can’t sail across an ocean and tear apart another culture to set up shop. If we could, no one in their right mind would. What we have to do is focus on how the (American) government can positively affect you, the citizen.
