Our rights are protected by the Constitution and they can’t be bargained away or negotiated. Internal spying and surveillance is one of the signs of the beginning of the end for Freedom. Proposals for increased powers so they can engage in repressive actions against views or certain behaviors could be a sure warning sign on the road to tyranny. Buckle up..... |

What you post goes out there forever. Anyone can read what is posted on this site anytime. If you don't want it blasted out there to three hundred million readers, some of whom are LEOs, don't put it on the 'net. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
