They already have...
it's the Amash Conyers bill.
I think that the one idea that the [ideologue] liberals and conservatives pretty much agree on, is that the government is full of jack booted thugs who are not to be trusted.
The problem is... ironically... the law and order types in both parties, as well as the majority of the people in the general population. They believe the American Government acts in an essentially "good" fashion. These are the, "Well... if you have nothing to hide, you don't have anything to worry about." -types.
- redblacktree 13y ago“Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one’s self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.” -- Michael Rivera
