Oy.

I tried to compose a simple explanation for why my country is such a 
bullying control freak, but there always seemed to be another pertinent 
point to add, and my "simple" explanation started looking like a POV-Ray 
3.7 release candidate.

So I'll just leave you with two words:  Money.  Fear.

(I'm tempted to add fundamentalist Christianity.  However, my analysis 
is that the hyper-religious Americans--including politicians who are 
under the delusion that they run this country--are being punked by money 
via use of fear.)
