(1,388 posts)I am not using sneaker derogatorily. It and stinker were terms my Dad used to describe a jokester. Someone who likes to have fun. And that is what I thought of when you talked about the Google searches. I misinterpreted what you were going to do that for. I thought you meant to change your profile by searching for things that would change that profile. I'll bet you are a good grandmother. I was not blessed with children and so being 65 makes eligible me to be a grandpa, I am not.
I think I already stated that we need less surveillance and not by the mercenary companies that the government subcontracts to. That is totally evil. Like going to Haliburton or Blackwater, etc. Evil companies. I think surveillance a necessary evil, but it should be a limited one. Not sure how to do that. Al Franken has said he believes what has happened is OK and so does Obama, and I trust both, I guess because I have to trust someone here and they are the ones.
I haven't relied on the news in years. They are almost all owned by the big money that seeks to control us by the stories that they feel free to make up and later amend. And are you talking about reporters like Glenn Greenwald, who is complicit on both ends of this fiasco we are involved in right now. I am sure he sought this young man Snowden and snowed him under with righteous this and righteous that and convinced him to do this tell all of things he really did not know about. I almost, in fact, feel sorry for Snowden. He has ruined his life so Greenwald can have his story. But as far as freedom of the press, there has been no press worth a lick for a long time let a lone freedon of the press.
We have protection. We have the ACLU. They are suing as we write to take this whole thing on. They are their to defend the constitution of the USA. Some tiimes they are just testing things and sometimes they are actually in there defending stances.
