Have you ever felt the government has to much power? some people think that it does and some dont. We have only watched videos against the government. I think that these videos and handouts are both good and bad.
I think that the videos were bad in a way. The Steven Kurtz video was bad because it just showed his side. There could have been a whole other story, I had never even heard of that guy. There was no way he was doing nothing and the Government just randomly started going after him.

I don't understand why people would have followed McCarthy or the House on Unamerican Activities because they were just terrorists basically, they scared people into beleiving people were communists and then those people were pretty much outcasts.
Even though some of the material was bad, some was very interesting. Some of the stuff i can beleive and some i can't, such as how the US spends more money on defense than everything else combined. I can beleive that because it is probably true. I can only remember one time when we were attacked. That was 9/11. I don't know about everyone else in the country but i would rather have it that way, never being attacked, rather than being attacked on the regular. I also liked the articles and research on McCarthyism and the Red Scare. I liked them because they were actual things that happened in history, they were written down and in books. I understood the Red Scare because we were afraid that the whole world was going to become communist because it works for big countrys like how Russia was and China is. We thought that...
