(11,464 posts)I use EZ pass when I drive.
I use credit cards for everything to purchase anything
I use supermarket discount card
They already know I purchase Charmin with Aloe.
There is nothing they don't already know.
So it doesn't consume me to worry about any of the above.
I do know that 3000 REAL people died because of terrorists killing them on 9-11.
They actually were real people and they died.
At the hands of bad people.
I know I myself would rather be safe than sorry.
As Ben Franklin said "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
And wiretapping has been done forever.
Those old enough can recall, Bobby and Jack Kennedy wiretapped Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (YES they did).
If one sees something suspicious, I know, I myself will report it.
The life I save might just be mine or my families.
Why wouldn't I want to keep them safe?
As Franklin said "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
So these things don't bother me.
And as Kristofferson wrote "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose".
And as he constantly explained, that meant, if one is absolutely free, then one howls at the moon on the beach, for what
they gave up because the people they wanted to be with are not there. Sorry, I don't want freedom like that.
BY THE WAY
YOU are writing on an international PUBLIC board telling your view on freedom.
excuse me, but you are writing what you opinion is.
That means you have NOT given up one right whatsoever.
And I myself am free to not follow any single word Ron or Rand Paul or the dreaded Oathkeepers say.
Why in the world would I want to? (I think the oathkeepers are the worst of the tea party groups, but that is my opinion and because I am free, I can say that).
BTW, why are the Oath Keepers a tax free group?
They are part and parcel of the unofficial Ron Paul / Rand Paul organization. I consider this group to be one of the most dangerous groups in the nation.

Organizational history [edit]
The Oath Keepers were founded on March 2009 by Stewart Rhodes and incorporated in Las Vegas, Nevada as a non-profit corporation.[3][4] Rhodes is a Yale Law School graduate, a former US Army paratrooper, and a former staffer of Congressman Ron Paul.[5] The Oath Keepers as a group have grown to include chapters in many states across America.[6]
