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.

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.
