This is an issue because the collective(State) is trying to wrest power from the individual. The 5th protects the individual from the power of an enthusiastic collective(State). Comin' for a witch hunt anyone? Morons! "Huuunneeyy, get mi guuuunn".
Most of the constitution is about protecting the individual from an over zealous and far to empowered state.
The state gets it power from individuals surrendering freedoms to an authority run by the state. The more Authority the state is granted? the more power it is likely to gain and less and less the individual matters.
Individual, natural, in-alienable rights is what the once most prosperous and powerful nation the planet has ever seen was built on. These are being eroded and with it the individuals ability of self determination. Power is being surrendered to the collective!
Read history! Learn what happens when the collective become more powerful than the individual. The USA, in coming years, will be something to be feared, BY ALL individuals, that, un-strangely enough, make up all sorts of collectives. A lot of these collective will become incompatible with the USA style collective, and like bug in a computer program will need to be eliminated. THIS IS WHERE THE FEAR STARTS!
Call me alarmist, call me whatever you like. The evidence is in the deterioration of the protection of the individuals natural and in-alienable rights, and the surrendering to authority the interpretation and definition.
Again read history. We can learn what happens when the individual becomes just another cog in the "collective" and all powerful state. Why do you have the 5th? To protect you as an individual from the state and to force the state to know what it's doing, you nimrod!
Time to give up and let the nimrods have it. Like recalcitrant teenagers they need to learn from their own crap. Let 'em have it. But don't blame me when it all goes to pot and millions pay with their lives. Blame your parents. They got you in this crap by not being able or willing to defend individual liberty's and natural rights.
C'Mon guys. Give it up. There are truckloads of people joining all sorts of organisations every day that swear to uphold and defend the constitution.
where are they? Where are the defenders? The constitution is under attacks from all fronts! It will fall. Nothing can sustain the sort of attacks that the US constitution and the rights it's supposed to protect and survive. It's just a matter of time!
Hang on a second. Wasn't one of the matras "No Child Left Behind"?
It'll be alright. Just have to print and borrow more money.
It's a shame the freedom to compete, which makes it easier for those already well resourced, multinationals for instance, and therefore redistribute resources is being strangled.
HHHHmmm to big to fail anyone?
Can't have the innefficient going broke now can we? Think of the children? We really are screwd aren't we?
What a load of crap modern "Leadership" is.
Bunch of collectivist cronies!
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Mauna Loa, Hawaii, surpassed 400 parts per million
and the global temperature anomoly is not following! Why?!
Has someone stuffed up the temperature readings and it is getting warmer? or has Co2 rise slowed and the readings at Mauna Loa are wrong?

By the time these biometrics make it into the mainstream. Owning weapons will be as frowned upon as smoking, and eventually eliminated or reduced to the point of harmless.
Then the biometrics can get to work!
Because this would result in citizens regaining some lost power. Once you acquire something, it's hard to give it up. Who ever holds the power is not going to give it up.
C'Mon man. The "terrorists" are the the tool of the totalitarians and tyrants to get you to relinquish more power. For gawds sake. The Terrorists have IQ's in the toilet. How can anyone reason that's it's a good idea to die, having inflicted no measureable damage to your so called enemy? They're just the pawns in a struggle to redistribute power.
Power to where you may ask?
Well, look where it's going. It's not hard to find. But I know you, I and we don't have any.
Cameras are a great help.
If you care about catching the perpetrator after the fact. Install cameras all over the place!
While you're there. You'll need to recruit people monitor them, then you better make sure you have the "right" people to manage the IT systems. Then you better make sure those people are not corupt, so employ people to monitor the people watching the people.
Hey, I've got an idea, just something I dreamt up, off the cuff. Anyone thought about how we build a community/society where this doesn't happen or is prevented in the first place, or the people can look after themselves, you know defend their stuff? Naaahhh, too hard. There's not enough good people to do anything about the evil.
What was that line about "Evil will get away with it as long as good people do nothing"? HHHmm must have missunderstood.
In the 1950's each $1 borrowed produced approx 95 cents of GDP. By 2008 that had dropped to 12 cents. At the moment it's -45 cents. For every $1 borrowed the USA errodes 45 cents of it's wealth.
If USA fed spending continues at it's current pace? It will take 20% of the rest of the worlds GDP to fund that spending by 2020.
Europe is toast. They're about to go to the Chinese for funding. That will come will strings I'm not sure the West is ready for.
There will be no money left for the USA to use by 2020. The rest of the west will have used it.
Meanwhile the USA's industrial productivity is dropping year by year. Those "organise anywhere" people are getting what they want. A dismantling of capitalism. I'm not sure they're gonna like like it.
Industrial productivity is the only way out. But that's not going to happen while you have the Fed funding and subsidising projects that will lift energy and industrial input costs.
HHHmmm, I wonder what sort of reaction an economic dictator will get when they tell the USA how to run their country in return for continued support?
I, for one, am not looking forward to all this unravelling.
