and to everyone else who responded, for your kind words.

I know that most reasonable people have a legitimate concern about what we are learning on how our gov spys on us, and everyone else in the world.

It is incredible that they even have that capability today, but imagine the resources involved, YIKES!

And we are supposedly broke, can't even afford to give people back their retirements, that were not only promised, but were paid into/purchased, earned.

The too big to fail doctrine has revealed who counts and who doesn't, and it's a tiny pool of who counts, the rest are fucked.

Though we all must continue to fight the totalitarians, we won before, and we can do it again, if we all (or the vast majority) stick together.

IMA O IKIRU!
