Last night, on New Year's Eve, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act. The American military now has the right to arrest, detain, torture and even assassinate US citizens suspected of being terrorists. Except they don't need any proof. They can act with impunity and without consequences. If you speak out against the government on the internet, you'll get a knock on your door from them soon. I'm safe, being from Canada. Americans are now at war with their own government. Yet no one seems to care. When I first heard about this bill, I expected Americans to be up in arms, taking to the streets to protest. But no. Nothing. Why? Could it be that no one believes this bill could ever be passed in the US? Have we been lulled into such a false sense of security that we don't believe it could happen? Well guess what, people: it just happened.
