Incrementally- but noticeably- the United States is shedding its democracy. Hard-won civil liberties are willingly sacrificed for the sake of illusory added security. Institutions are stacked with political- partisan appointees who do their puppetmaster/' s bidding. Laws are openly broken and the Constitution flaunted with breathtaking callousness and an ease that would have been considered unthinkable on September 10- 2001. I wouldn/' t be surprised if the forthcoming presidential elections are suspended due to this perpetual "state of emergency".

Largely ignorant of history and thus devoid of any meaningful or helpful perspective- people shrug off this doomsday scenario. They forget that Rome - a four hundred years old republic with venerable institutions like the Roman Senate - gave in to tyranny in the space of four years. The same goes for ancient Athens- the first truly participatory democracy on earth- transformed by wars into a hideous dictatorship.

America/' s is a malignantly narcissistic culture. Its denizens believe counterfactually that it is the richest- most virtuous- freest- society on earth. Reasonably- they are convinced that everyone is destructively envious of them. This renders them paranoid and violent. An early and observant traveler- Alexis de Tocqueville- noted this siege mentality and warned that the United States is walking a thin line between freedom and authoritarianism.
