Good video, important topic.

The vast majority of people fear the government, whether they admit or not.
They genuinely seem to believe our government, and even more so, the US one, to be the all-powerful, omniscient entity that it portrays itself to be in the media.

Its funny, you can engage someone on the subject of race and they'll more often than not open up and speak their mind. Start talking about the government's increasingly Orwellian nature, and intrusion into their everyday lives and they suddenly become very tight-lipped, and start looking at the ground.
Some try and claim that it couldn't happen in Australia, and that the government no doubt has good intentions, but you can tell they're in denial and don't even believe it themselves. They're simply afraid.

They know that to indict the government means taking responsibilty themselves, and god forbid, perhaps actually stepping up and doing something. The governmnent stripped them of the part of their anatomy required for that a long time ago.
