Nothing New, Under the Sun

Yeah, I know, it's Hollywood.

Anyhow, the funny thing is this. Sometimes Hollywood fantasy depicts what most of us are aware of and have been our whole lives. Like the fact that our government, (And, dare I venture to say; "Every government on earth."), spies on it's own people as well as others. Does this make it okay? Well, maybe at times, but not necessarily is the best answer I can give.

But, one thing I do know, is that when you have a bunch of excitable knuckledraggers get all excited about something the rest of us have known for years and they start bellowing about "2nd Amendment Solutions", "Gather your armies...", posting pictures of weaponry and making veiled, or not-so-veiled noise about rebellion...........the spying will only increase. Then, of course when some half cocked half-wit finally does start shooting at the big fish their dreaded vision of tanks in the streets will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Of, course these self-described "Sons of Liberty" (More like Sons of Idiocy) won't see it that way. To them it was part of Obamas sinister plan since the start of the Cold War.........................
