One of my biggest interests in this incarnation, possibly even the biggest, is totalitarian governments and how democracies are always at risk of descending into dictatorship. What I've learned is this: we're all imperfect human beings, and even the most elaborately planned attempts at turning a democracy into dictatorship can fail quite easily. Just look at 9/11, that bus bombing in London, and the G20 civil liberty abuses in Toronto this summer. They did not go as planned, they did not get the reaction the puppeteers wanted, the people were not as dumb and passive as they hoped they would be.

People would get super, super pissed if this was actually passed and everyone regardless of political affiliation would fight this, and whoever made this bill and voted for it would never get elected again.
