This is a great example of how our government is making new enemies everyday by investigating everyone. They took a happy-go-lucky college student and turned him into an activist against government surveillance. I wish government employees would think more about the consequences of their actions against common people, but I fear that they are too preoccupied with their Hollywood-cop fantasies.
- rdtsc 15y ago> how our government is making new enemies everyday by investigating everyone. The sad thing is, as a system and individually they probably think they are helping a great deal. They are investigating and taking things seriously, they are protecting our country against pervasive and extremely dangerous terrorists. I bet most of them have brainwashed (and that includes brainwashing themselves) into thinking that. They are making enemies but they don't see that, to them enemies just appear, spawned out of pure 'hatred of our freedoms'. The more they see this kind of antagonism, the harder they investigate everyone, the most they investigate, the more antagonism they generate.
- suivix 15y agoSorry but I lost you when you called them 'brainwashed'. That is incorrect and also derogatory.
- burgerbrain 15y agoWhy do you say it is incorrect? And I don't think a statement of apparent fact can be called "derogatory". If there is a less offensive term for the meaning, I'm not aware of it.
- westicle 15y agoDerogatory simply means critical, or a statement which detracts from the standing of something. A statement of apparent fact can easily be derogatory. Women are on average physically weaker than men. African-americans are on average of lower intelligence than asian-americans.
