womzillaJust for the record, I think I have become a political anger junkie.
ETA: Expanding for a moment, I think for me the turning point was when I put serious thought into the characteristic actions of a truly dictatorial government. It's not that i don't think such a list is valuable--in fact, I think it's both important to know what to watch for and to have a sense of what's going on. I think the problem is that it struck me as completely unremarkable that I would have such a discussion in my head, and unremarkable that I thought that people would be interested in seeing such a list if I were to post it. That's in deep.
