Dots.

Editor,

Connect these dots:

* 85 individuals own more wealth than the poorest 3.5 BILLION. Domestic numbers are similar.

* NSA is mapping social networks of everyone not only in the USA, but everywhere on planet Earth.

* NDAA provides for indefinite detention without charge.

After the Reichstag fire, phones were tapped, letters opened, homes broken into, and Germany was purged of communists, the only sizable opposition to the Nazis.

Reasons for rebellion, enumerated by the ever increasing array of safety net and other social programs being curtailed because the unimaginably rich refuse to pay for them, are increasing daily.

Mitt Romney told his friends in his "47%" speech that people whom the Republican party consider moochers believe they are "ENTITLED TO FOOD."

If you feel entitled to food, or to be paid for working, or to have a say in whether foreign corporations can annul American environmental, labor, health, or other regulations, then you, my friend -- and all of your friends -- are "terrorists."

Wake up, America. You are living under a fascist regime, and as the most cursory reading of history reveals, the screws in totalitarian societies are tightened almost imperceptibly slowly but inexorably.
