Signs you should be worrying

• Your government is fighting a war against an unseen enemy, whose identity seems to be shifting and whose threat seems never to diminish. There are no clear indications of when this war would be considered won.
• Your government implies that dissenting with its policies is an act of treason. It uses this line of reasoning to discredit the press.
• Your government promotes a worldwide revolution of its ideology abroad, while chipping away at its foundation at home.
• Your government uses pompous sounding names such as Office of Homeland Security, Patriot Act and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
• Your government declares war unilaterally.
