“Scottie”
It’s scary, frankly, just knowing there are people, like Scottie, who witness crimes and do not speak out, do not speak truth to power unless there is a monetary reward. While I applaud “Scottie” for speaking out now, it tells us how far a dictator could go in this country without anyone crying out — Bush got this far and may still go further before Jan., 2009. How far will the next Bush get?
This is what scares me more: I often wonder if the great masses of Americans are too tired and beaten down to care. I wonder if perhaps they want a dictator? Or wouldn’t care if a dictator emerged?

I have always wondered if we are too busy, too involved with ourselves, or to darned complacent to realize what is going on. I think you are right.
