I think you're correct. The government is running scared of a potential domestic insurrection as a result of population growth, and taking this opportunity to put into place the (il)legal basis for responding to any hint of it.

Can you imagine any typical middle class person sacrificing their nice comfortable life for civil war? No, neither can I. It ain't gonna happen unless the standard of living in the US collapses (and by collapse, I mean to near famine levels - countries like Mexico which are endemic with grinding poverty aren't in danger of insurrection). -- Dylan Smith, Castletown, Isle of Man Flying: http://www.dylansmith.net Frontier Elite Universe: http://www.alioth.net "Maintain thine airspeed, lest the ground come up and smite thee" |

It's happened twice before in our country. But probably the surest way to instigate an insurrection would be to cut the cable TV feeds for ESPN and MTV. |
