MOST in todays Fed. Gov't are "control freaks," wanting a totalitarian 
Fed. to control all the States. Sooner or later they WILL get their 
wish, and that will be the beginning of "the end." They WILL have the 
ability to find and most likely kill anyone who transmits in any format 
anything that is contrary to liberal policy. Try to envision China on 
steroids......about right for what will happen here before long, like in 
Jan. when Obamamama takes office. Some have wondered if he's the 
Anti-Christ. I don't think so, but if he gets shot in the head and comes 
back to life, we'll then know for sure who "he" is. ;)
