I blame the education system. It really takes a complete lack of understanding of history to play along with the neocon agenda. All the people that fought and died to secure our rights.. and kids today just seem to think rights just happen. Like the government just decides what they're doing isn't right, so they're going to give you more rights. But even American history aside, ANY real understanding of comprehensive world history would also show the same things. Once people give up their rights, they never get them back.. without revolution. Just like once a tax is enacted, it's not GOING to expire once the need that caused the tax expires.
