Whine, moan bitch complain without any sensible suggestions... yep, that's the Cato way. Above all, aim all suspicion-of-authority at some vague "government" and ignore all other forces. ________________________________ From: KZK <[email protected]> To: brin-l-r0TUnz/JSrZWk0Htik3J/[email protected] Sent: Sat, August 21, 2010 6:42:35 PM Subject: Brin: The Digital Surveillance State: Vast, Secret, and Dangerous http://www.cato-unbound.org/2010/08/09/glenn-greenwald/the-digital-surveillance-state-vast-secret-and-dangerous/ And as we acquiesce to more and more sacrifices of our privacy to the omnipotent Surveillance State, it builds the wall of secrecy behind which it operates higher and more impenetrable, which means it constantly knows more about the actions of citizens, while citizens constantly know less about it. We chirp endlessly about the Congress, the White House, the Supreme Court, the Democrats and Republicans, but this is the Real U.S. Government: a massive Surveillance State functioning in darkness, beyond elections and parties, so secret, vast and powerful that it evades the control or knowledge of any one person or even any organization. _______________________________________________ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
