With every day our civil rights are being stolen from us. Now, more importantly than ever, we are in need of people to stand up for that which they hold dear. When we thought it couldn't get any worse with the Patriot Act, our friends in Congress are redefining a word we all should hold a lot dearer... PRIVACY! They are attempting to allow agencies the right to monitor all communications via phone line, email, text messeges, etc. They would be using these communications in order to fight the "War on Terror." As we all know... terror, and the war set up on it, becomes more and more fuzzy from one day to the next.
If we let them get away with this, and anything else, there will be no end to the fear they hold around our necks.
How did they come about this? What excuses are they using? Those on sites like Facebook and MySpace who give out their personal information. Those dubbed Millenials (the current teen generation) who seem to not care if they give out their home addresses and find themselves either raped or mudered due to their own incompetence. I won't pretend to understand why or how their minds find doing this acceptable, but innocence has its limits.
I can't think of a solution... maybe parents should pay more attention to their kids, maybe the kids should get their asses kicked so they know the world is a harsh place, maybe the government should stop trying to scare us with inphalable enemies as they mix blood and oil. We need to start paying attention, we need to start standing up for our rights.
