Random: Political Musings

You know what's scary?
There are people who think this is a ridiculous question.

 

What if 15 years ago I would have asked you if you thought the government of the USA would be spying on everyone on the planet by 2013?

 

I most likely would have said "they already are".

 

There has never been a time and never will be that govts won't use everything available to them to spy on, control citizens. FBI's Hoover had files on the Beatles and Marilyn Monroe. What I would have missed on is the blatant control over govt by corporations. I.E. what a corp like Monsanto is getting away with, using us all for lab rats, or what's going down with ACA and insurance cos.
I think just not wanting to believe it could get so blatant formed that bias. Quite a stupid naivete on my behalf since it's been mentioned down through history,. I just thought we had something better. The leashes are on the wrong people.

 

A decade ago not even a possibilty for this to happen would have been my thought, with this guy there's a possibility, not a probability.... yet. The best device is a time of great uncertainty , being in the middle of a war qualifies, the FDR model. The fact that there will probaly be no serious competition for the office will help immensely.

 

Have you seen Obama on TV in the last few days?
Is something wrong with my TV or is his nose getting longer?

 

President Pinocchio.

 

Have you ever told a lie?

 

Hey...

Maybe you could be the president.

 

But, you probably wouldn't qualify anyway, because I'm betting you don't have "community organizer" in your resume.
