Quote:United versus separate?  That makes no sense.  All rights are individual rights.  If you need a large group to exercise rights, then you don't really have them. 

ya look back just after 9/11 country is for the most part united, no real strife or hatred towards each other.  Chappelles show is on the air and things are going great.  and now 15 years later we are more divided as a nation than we have been in 50 years.  We have people being gunned down by cops.  We have cops being gunned down by people.  Highways are being blocked by protests, people can't go to a political rally without dealing with angry mobs of protestors on both sides.  Our current president is actively taking away rights and spitting on the constitution.  Guys are getting blown up by drones in the US.  Not saying he didn't deserve it but it scares me how that happened without notice, just ok I guess we can blow up our problems with drones now.  Martial Law actually happened in Boston a couple years ago.  We are on our way to not really having them.
