Well I think that line was certainly the core of the film. When worse comes to worse, the people have the final say in how a government is constructed. The problem is that, like in the movie, people are often scared into submission by their governments. Just look at what's happened over the past few years in this country. Views about world events have not been on an even keel. It's always hyped up to the point where people are just about afraid to step outdoors. This works for those in power so long as they can focus the attention on an external source, but how long can that possibly last? Like Ben Franklin said, "Those who would trade permanent privacy for temporary security deserve neither". It should be interesting in the coming years (if things continue the way they are) to see just how far people are willing to be pushed. If that becomes the case, it's not a question of "if", but a question of "when". If this country keeps on down the proverbial slippery slope, the people WILL take physical action...it's just a matter of time.
