Fanatic or speaker of truths?

They misspelled "Anonymous". Also "Isn't".
Anyways, "Anonymous" is as hyped as always, and using abundant exaggeration and fear mongering to get their point noticed. Though, to be fair, that's also how the government has spread it's power since 9/11: By spreading the fear of terrorism.
Not that I can claim to be any sort of expert-- I can't really say I have an opinion on the matter itself. People give governments their power; Power corrupts. We elect the people who then vote for the very things we then complain about. In this sense, we all reap what we sow, as a group. If a sufficient majority is either fine or indifferent with this, then too damn bad. Americans are really very good at the whole indifferent thing. I'm sure the government has a part in that.
So, to answer the topic: fanatic. There's some truth in there if you ignore the bull.

I'd post something relevant to the topic, but B@tt has already posted which means that any point anyone COULD have made, HAS been made, and his bouncy avatar is going to distract me from sharing anything significant.

Well, one day it shall be written, not unlike the ending of the movie Barry Lyndon:
It was during the time of (insert president/ruler name) that the aforesaid personages lived and quarreled, good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor, they are all equal now.
That which we make a fuss over now will be seen as nonsense in the decades to come (like Elvis's hip shaking). Life will go on, and assuming we haven't blown ourselves to kingdom come (which wouldn't be a bad thing at this point either), then yeah the next generation will have its fair share of things to fuss over.

I wouldn't say this is fanaticism at all. This is absolutely real. The bill is real.
Yes, its a bit overhyped, but everything said is certainly possible. I recall on San Francisco public radio, a authority figure in the government was speaking to individuals in a conference about the media and control of it. He said that efforts are being made to take away our freedom right now.
By the way, this is ownership of the GLOBAL media im about to talk about.
In 1983, 90% the media was controlled by 50 companies, in '92 it was owned by 24, and in 2000... the vast majority of it all is owned by 6 companies... AOL Time Warner, Viacom, Vivendi Universal, News Corporation, Disney, and Bertelsmann. And all of our radio stations are owned by one company, Clear Channel Communications. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Its obvious in this day and age our rights are actively being taken away bit by bit. There's very little we can do about it, which is the sad thing.

It's true what they're saying, but they're making too big a deal of it right now
I totally agree with Driftaz tho, stuff's going down here. It's time to pack our bags just in case o_O
