and besides that I guess you dont want to say if everyone does it, it is the right thing to do? <!-/Quote-!>
You are assuming that I believe the USA is the "the land of the free and the home of the brave". I do not.
Also I do not think that if everyone is doing it, its the right thing to do.
I apologize if you misunderstood me and assumed certain things. (Thats the problem we face on internet posts I suppose.) The point I was making is that all the world governments are doing the same thing.
But here is the 'skinny' on this subject.
The GREAT MAJORITY of world governments, most definitely including the USA/German/Russia, are known liars. This is an undisputed fact! So personally I choose to not believe anything I hear from them. We hear the statement that 'over 50 terrorist plots have been foiled' from the intrusive spying. Who says this? Ahhhh, the same people who are doing the spying... Seriously??? Again this is just a group of known liars (The USA/any world government) spewing out lies in an attempt to justify their actions.
As for the Fox News/ MSNBS/CNN... Republican/Democrat mess... its all part of the 'Hegelian Dialectic'. We are made to think we have choices, when in reality we do not. Let me explain this in a somewhat humorous way. If I declare war on you and my goal is to defeat you and take control of your country but I ask you How do you want me to accomplish this? You prefer me to destroy you with cruise missiles or would you prefer me to bomb you into oblivion? The result or final outcome will be the same. Only the method changes. So in reality, did I even give you a choice?
This is the same type of choice/situation the USA public is presented with. The whole system is going down, and going down rather rapidly. We think we have a choice but the reality is that its all headed for disaster.
However all is not lost, when major changes happen humanity can/will survive, but most certainly not with the present system that's in place.
