"Be afraid! (You are so much easier to control that way.)"

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but the continual push to always have something to be deathly afraid of that the government will protect you from is straining my credulity. An organized conspiracy (ala the "New World Order")? Unlikely. Enough politicians making enough power grabs to simulate that? Apparently.
