Citizens might assume that buying, fixing up downtown property, operating a small business might be encouraged and protected. If you live in Connecticut USA or some other repressive state, this behavior will end up in some form of punishment, arrest, and even prison if you aren't criminally connected with corrupt downtown officials.

Try putting "Steven G. Erickson" in a yahoo search engine and many posts regarding the alarming trends of repression and elimination of freedom will then become apparent.

"What is prison really like?" put in a search engine will give the reader a view of what it is like being abused in a US prison inside the US.
