A few people understand privacy issues, a fewer people understand what the mental constrain of the perpetual war is, a fewer people will see the trend in which this all leads, fewer people will know about this and still speak up. <br /><br />Not many USA citizens feel the fear to speak up against the USA government but that will come soon. It's just a big oppression case away to a battle lost. In that time, it's safer to follow the herd.<br /><br />Did you know that German law after WW2 forbid any kind of communications' interception because if it is possible for that to happen that was enough to the people to be less free, people refrain itself to get into troubles even if they try to abide the law. <br /><br />Related, if you have enough laws/vague laws so no knows if they are a criminal, a justice system that no one expects to be safe from (defense expenses are doing it in USA) and the feel of unstable growing oppression (this is a good case) and you have an wrecked state. The growing news of the surveillance reach, the pursuit of the darings, the impunity of government officials and the blatant violation of the old restrictions (constitution for example).<br /><br /><br />I bet that will be a lot of blood shed before a turn of events.<br /><br />It was nice to be apart of the Internet while it was fun and free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-61840266623478516732013-06-07T11:58:32.148-04:002013-06-07T11:58:32.148-04:00What to do about it? the most effect you'll ha...What to do about it? the most effect you'll have is calling your congressman/senator and talking about your concerns (well, with their staff most likely, but that's ok).
