So here we are at this juncture again, the flames of outrage to be fanned again because the government is veiwing phone records. Before your indignancy reaches record levels, here's a mint for your pillow...whats new pussycat? So many of us jump on these bullet trains without fore or after thought because the sound bytes send messages that we feel deserve an immediate response, and most times these knee jerk responses are just that. Americans are being spied upon daily all under the guise of protecting the pursuit of that so called American dream, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I ask you, in todays society where is it you can go without someone invading your privacy? Big brother is watching every little step you take and you're not outraged because of how the package has been presented to you. To protect you from crime, to ensure your safety in these hamlets and villages we dwell in is plausible to you because a Freddie Krueger lurks around every corner and God forbid I end up as his next victim, so its alright that I can be traced leaving the sanctity of my home to the top dollar store around the corner for a bottle of pine sol and all on camera no less. Now who's zooming who? The game isn't changing my friends, the rules are evolving and the grip on US is getting tighter and tighter. You can't have it both ways either you want it or you don't which really is a misnomer because you're going to get it either way. From Benedict Arnold, to Alger Hiss, The Rosenbergs, Civil war spies, and most famously Joseph McCarthy and McCarthyism and less we not give a pass to America's most famous spy, the daffodil J Edgar, its all just another chapter in the big brother's watching you game...but you can take light in the fact that "this one's for you!" Stop the impulse, do your research into America's long sordid history of snooping. Its the American way! Da Bad Guy!
