It seems that you Americans as usual don't realize that there is intelligent life outside of the US. I agree that goverment, taxes, manipulative media etc are the worse but those are not specific for America. So my answer is:
Hollywood with all its dumbing effects.

If it were true youd be right. John McCain and Elliot Spitzer (hopefully with some spillover to Shrillary) are poster-boys for why government still fears the citizens.

mmmmm maybe beause people dont fear the government unless they are criminals or have Orwellian paranoia problems? Of the hundreds of people I deal with only one is afraid of the government...my son can't afford another speeding ticket.

What category of fear do you fit in?

Yeah, and that works because we have a really good standards of what makes someone a criminal. I take it you aren't a minority and have never had to deal with the police.

I fit into the category of the person who does nothing in his life that will harm another human being but is considered a criminal by the government. I seek nothing but the opportunity to be a productive member of society and keep my private business away from the government.

I am also afraid of the government because I have a rational fear that I could be conscripted for an illegal war. Hillary and Rudy are two people who intend to lead us on that path.

When ignoring no longer works, begin the "smear and marginalize" phase.

I'm not a minority but I dealt with the police plenty. But I'm not allowed to make reference to it lest you are offended by "monthly repetition".

I really can't understand how you got the impression I was offended by your post, or why you reacted so negatively. I thought it was a pretty funny comment coming from you and my response was in jest. I think you are completely misinterpreting me.
