Did you hear about it?

Are we effectively speaking of the 1st world democracy?

Just because some mall cops got a hair up their butt and the local real authorities complied for 2 hours and then everybody dropped the matter doesn't mean .....well, whatever the hell you're trying to say it means.  It sucks, but it was hardly the worst travesty of justice that happened in America on that day.

Let's trust you on the last sentence if we forget patriot acts.

Don't you think we can't see here a symptom of a trend which could go worst to worst?

I ask, there are several US opinions on that point, I've been given the links by a US citizen, a former marine, 44 years old, who feel there are very high dangers for democracy in his country. Personally, I don't know enough the country to say. From what I know and what I feel, I also tend to think that there are risks for democracy in the US, but I let US surprise me...

We're a big country brother, something funked up is always happening somewhere.  You fight it when it pops up next to you and hope the locals elsewhere fight it when it pops up by them.


(and a mall can kick out a shopper for whatever the hell they want.  You have don't have a "right" to be at the mall.)

Malls are private property.

Malls are private property.

Exactly.  Next.

Well, OK, OK.

Let's hope that doesn't go further than that...
