33. The ever encroaching police state

Wed May 9, 2012, 05:19 AM

May 2012

I hate the total surveillance society that continues to march forward little by little. Its everywhere. I hate the sheep that go along with it, because they have the stupid mindset "well, it will only hurt the bad guys, not upstanding citizens" BZZZZZZZZZZT Wrong. The freedom of the individual to have privacy and conduct themselves without others watching them should be one of the basic human freedoms. Human beings really are probably 90% sheep like in following what authority tells them to do, and there are very few of us who see things differently and oppose this nonsense.

I also will mention the continuing destruction of the environment that keeps taking place worldwide, that always pisses me off.
