Over the last century, the Land of the Free has slowly transformed into a land governed by endless laws, largely by cracking down on vices instead of actual crimes, creating a society that would render us all criminals if our behavior were constantly observed. Meanwhile, the state has steadily expanded its use of mass surveillance, largely under the pretext of fighting “terror.” This is a toxic mixture.

    Everything in the US has become either ‘fighting terror’ or for ‘saving the children’

    If you complain about any of the draconian measures that keep encroaching on our liberties then you are not a patriot or you are some sort of child hating monster.

    Interesting how times have changed and our government here has twisted our constitution. Our founding fathers are no doubt rolling in their graves.
