'a political unit characterized by repressive governmental control of political, economic, and social life usually by an arbitrary exercise of power by police and especially secret police in place of regular operation of administrative and judicial organs of the government according to publicly known legal procedures'.

No, not really. Is it a bit messed up? Yes. Is it a police state, particularly in the sense that phrase implies? No. Especially given that it's a temporary thing for the RNC.

Please don't scaremonger.

I'm not.

Dude, they've cleared over 1000 extra beds in the jails, have asked to governor to suspend certain laws saying including but not limited to open carry saying things like "I don't care if it's constitutional or not at this point." You can't have a backpack (even if you're in summer courses). They have the city cordoned off into "event zones," and "free speech zones," where they control where you go based upon what you believe. This has been going on so long it's become the sad, horrid norm. If you're carrying something in support of a candidate you can be there, if not, then you can be removed, even arrested. Whole country should be a free speech zone; it once was.... Should be again. 1st amendment means nothing. Nobody believes it until it bites them in the butt and all of a sudden, it should just be "fixed" by somebody else (lawyer, police officer, whoever). Nope. Disbelief does not a defense make.

They've swept out anybody they don't like and banned them from the city, because it doesn't fit the message of the completely untrue propaganda signs they've plastered up. You cannot be in the 3.3 mile area that is ... basically the city if they don't like you / they haven't been forced to permit you to be there. They will totally arrest you for anything they even remotely don't like, legal, illegal, doesn't matter. Frankly, that's just the beginning.... It's sad.

Moreover "White Elevators:" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zac-thompson/as-rnc-commences-white-elevators_b_11057652.html Completely insensitive and obvious. Come on.

... If you're color coding things, never use white I guess?  Or black.  Or red, or yellow.

This one didn't want to be who they was. On the Surface – it was a dull, unconsidered sadness. But everything changed. Which implied everything could change.

Well, you're not worthless. I can tell you that.

I highly recommend seeing a therapist of some variety. It might be the best decision I ever made. I look back on the time when I felt much like that and it kind of terrifies me.

+1 so, so freaking hard.
+1 from a student aiming to be one or of similar profession. :P
REALLY diverse set of knowledge there, along with it being a mentally tough profession.
Tir trying to ensure job security :P

But no really, +1 to this. Therapy has helped me so much.

 So, my tablet decided that having a screen in one piece is for suckers. Oh, sure, the thing still seems to work and is mostly in one piece, but theres now a glaring problem: The ability for me to do anything with it save turn it one and off and change the volume is now gone. Hurrah!

It's always ending.  But yeah, I feel like things are falling apart faster than they should be too...

The world already ended 4 years ago, according to the last major end of the world prediction.

Normally I'd say that if the world is ending, we should rise up and save it or some Kamina-esque motivational thing like that, but I really can't deny that things are looking... dark.

The earth was in fact destroyed a little under eight years ago.
