Just checking in to hear your thoughts and see if you actually give a shit.
It's scary.
The patriot act is extremely intrusive and calls for the basic rights of privacy to become privileges easily revoked during times of "war", which by our standards is "all the time", since we are always involved directly or indirectly in one war or another.
The NDAA is slowly trying to make this country work like that of a military dictatorship, where any damn soldier can execute an arrest on any citizen, so as long as he/she finds the suspect to be involved in any terrorist-like activity that threatens the peace and American way of life.
The SOPA bill is yet another way in which big brother wants to stop us from taking part in the basic right to share information. They tried something similar during the NAPSTER era and upon finding that they couldn't sue the entire world for downloading the macarena, they decided to give it a rest, but now they want to graduate the process from being just a misdemeanor with a fine to quite possibly a felony.
What the fuck is the world coming to?
