I mean, afterall its not like the CIA is getting their jollies by watching you bathe. It isn't anything like that.
What makes you think that? Your natural faith in the eternal human goodness of the unwatched watchman?
In fact,
every time you have a system of visual surveliance, the guys watching the monitors spend far more time scoping out the babes than actually watching for suspicous activity or whatever.
But you can't blame the US government for trying to protect itself.
I can, actually. The US government
doesn't exist to protect itself; it exists to protect
us. The US government, in fact, has absolutely no business taking any sort of steps to protect itself. The government should be vulnerable at all times. How else do we ensure its honesty?
The US was attacked, unprovoked, a grand total of 8 times before they responded to the terrorist threat with the Kohbar Towers, USS Cole, the first WTC bombing, etc.
That's nonsense. At that time, we responded to the terrorist threat in exactly the proper way - as a law enforcement problem - with exactly the proper results. Maybe you forgot that the first time the Towers were attacked, we actually
caught and convicted the mastermind?
My solution: Accept Jesus.
Practically everybody in the government, starting at the top and working down, has done that and done it often. Doesn't seem to be working.
