(39,909 posts)Would you say we are moving TOWARD a Surveillance/Security State,
or AWAY from one.
The "New Generation" will INHERIT what we give to them.
You talk as if we have crossed some threshold into a new paradigm
where Civil Liberties and protections from an intrusive government are no longer needed.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
The desire of the RICH & Powerful to dominate and control the 99% is nothing new.
It is as OLD as Mankind.
The only difference is that today, the RICH & Powerful have some new, very powerful tools to use.
If anything, [font size=3]we need to be Much More Careful WHAT we give to the "New Generation"[/font]
to make sure that they too can enjoy the protections from government that were given to US by OUR fathers and enshrined in our Constitution.
I am stunned that ANY legitimate member of DU would try to downplay how important this is.
