We are in a new phase of a very old war. Its about who the terrorist really is Is it people who take the words of the patriotic founders seriously? Or is all this issue of "terrorism" just a misnomer for the age old struggle for liberty? A struggle in which many people get lost and end up serving forces which deny liberty.
This story makes you honestly explore the definition of terrorist That seems to have been the Zeitgeist of as it is in this imaginary future USA under martial law Good questions. Watching this film I was struck by the realization, that by the standards of the security agents of this imaginary US martial state, the very men who founded their nation would be classified as terrorists.

They often deteriorate physically, losing weight and suffering corresponding malnutrition, rotting teeth and skin sores. They become particularly vulnerable to injury and abuse. Tormented by voices, or in the grip of paranoia, they may commit suicide or violence upon others.
Becoming suddenly threatening, or bearing a weapon because of delusionally perceived need for self-protection, the innocent schizophrenic may be shot down by police.
Depression from the illness, without adequate stability — often as the result of premature release — is also a factor in suicides. Such victims are prisoners of their illness. Their personalities are subsumed by their distorted thoughts. They cannot think for themselves and cannot exercise any meaningful liberty. The remedy is treatment — most essentially, medication. In most cases, this means involuntary treatment because people in the throes of their illness have little or no insight into their own condition.
If you think you are Jesus Christ or an avenging angel, you are not likely to agree that you need to go to the hospital. Anti-treatment advocates insist that involuntary committal should be limited to cases of imminent physical danger — instances where a person is going to do bodily harm to himself or to somebody else.
And all the while, the victim suffers the ravages of the illness itself, the degradation of life, the tragic loss of individual potential. To interfere — with involuntary commital — is to deny them their civil liberties.
Their intent, if noble, has a chilly, Stalinist justification — the odd tragedy along the way is warranted to ensure the greater good. The notion that this doctrine is misapplied escapes them. They merely deny the nature of the illness. Health Official Elizabeth Cull appears to have fallen into the trap of this juxtaposition.
She has talked about balancing the need for treatment and civil liberties, as if they were opposites. It is with such a misconceptualization that anti-treatment lobbyists promote legislation loaded with administative and judicial obstacles to involuntary committal. The result, …will be a certain number of illness-caused suicides every year, just as surely as if those people were lined up annually in front of a firing squad.
