The U.S Government, is very powerful, very big, and very incomprehensible, but what they are lacking is their own citizens trust. Ever since the 13 colonies, people have mistrusted there undependable government. Not much has changed since then, and, more than likely, not much will. A aircraft carrier, that the government built for $6.5 billion, has to pay $250 million to stay active daily, that's 4831 times the average yearly income of U.S residents. $70.9 billion are being put into jails…

All censorship in Syria can be directly traced back to the Syrian leader, President Bashar al-Assad, who took command of Syria in 2000.

for a new government and way to enforce laws. In DabbLand there will be no guns except for locked away incase of war, and the police officers will only have batons incase a criminal acts up.
