Considering all the heated discussion of late over Syrian mess, consider this

[1-Old-Man]

As you may have praised or belittled our Government and more importantly its very top leaders and likely some of the potential leaders of our country in years to come it is good to remember that every single word you have put in pint, both in open forums like this one and to friends and family by social media and mail has been captured and preserved by the NSA. It can be found at the touch of a keyboard and analyzed as to content and your stance on some number of issues, some of which may not even exist yet.

Refreshing thought, isn't.

It would be a foolish thing to do to think that George W. and Dick Cheney were the last or the most power-hungry ruthless or just plain stupidest of men to ever make it to the top in our Government and don't think some vindictive SOB might not make it to the top either.

1. I for one welcome our NSA overlords.

Fully support them.
Under all circumstances.
Cause security is more important than privacy or the Fourth Amendment.
Killing random Middle Eastern people also keeps us all safe.

Never question they can ferret out all
Signs of dissent.
Anyone who disagrees lacks Patriotism!

2. If my hard drive crashes, will they send me a backup copy?

[PoliticAverse]

7. No, they have a policy against sending out raw data, even to other government agencies... n/t

10. Just pick any phone and ask for Customer Service.

No need to dial a number. Just wait for the breathing to start on the other end.

In an other Op I was basically told you are with us or you are against us!

And here we go..
"Watch what you say. Watch what you do"

Dam I have heard this crap before.
Same answer.

Fuck You



This has not been a good day. I am not in a pleasant mode by virtue of this Iraq redux.
Raining or not I think I'll go wash the car.

5. Perhaps you feel you're being treated ...

unfairly?

8. I know that on my voter registration the party I associate with starts with a D.........

But I'm beginning to think I woke up in some alternated universe BFEE set sideways and looking at it's self in a mirror republican mind wash camp.

We should be fixing our own problems. Just a few things, the economy, jobs, infrastructure. You know little things like that.

But Nooooooooooooo.
We're gonna have us a WAR.
And with the same bullshit lies and subtle patriotic warnings that were used the last time around.

I fully expect every clearchannel radio station to start playing the national anthem every hour on the hour any time now.

9. Our problems are complicated. Blowing shit up is easy.

Expensive, and there is the whole "mass slaughter" element, including our own, should Punishment Missiles not be enough-and-they-won't.

But still. We have all these expensive weapons, and if we don't start using them, people are going to maybe ask why.

11. We have become Goa'uld.

4. I'm not scared.

They already know how ineffectual I am.

[1-Old-Man]

6. Yeah, I know what you mean. I file with the IRS every year too.

So they know what puny old ass is worth. Hardly something to be overly frightened of other than that I might be a bad influence on some child. Most adults know enough to ignore me.
