"Do you really believe that "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear"?"
SURELY, you jest. It always amazes me how a foreigner sitting 100 miles from the U.S. border can make such a ridiculous statement as "Americans who don't feel threatened by their own police are out of touch with reality". Did you write that with a straight face? You obviously know little of Americans. It must be quite a fantasy world in which you live and if Walt Disney had been aware he would not have built Fantasy Land in Anaheim 62 years ago. That gig was already taken. But you'll have to excuse me. I just saw a police car go by and I'm SURE they're after me - time to hide! You people are an absolute riot!
