I find it very interesting when people down-vote something like this without refuting even one of the examples provided. It can only mean that the down-voting is based on blind ideology rather than facts. Every example I provided is factually supported, yet the indoctrinated can't see past their ideology to even consider the fallacy in their arguments. They applaud the government for creating the GPS system but recoil when someone points out it was created to aid in the military mission of killing people and not for Apple to use on their iPhone. That someone offends their sensibilities and they refuse to look at reality. The State is always perfect in intentions, foresight and results. Anything else is blasphemy. And that's part of the reason we have the problems we have.
