You know, I've been watching the series Babylon 5 on DVD (part way

spiral into a police state, I sit there seeing parallels. Not all of
them, but still paralells.

We have an 'unknown enemy' and 'matters of security' have increased the
military presence everywhere, people reporting seditious people, things
like that.

Have you drawn the parallels to Nazi Germany?


Yeah I thought that the day the 'homeland security' thing started. Sounded rather germanic to me.

But I'm not watching a TV series about the rise of the Nazi Empire... :)
