You're not going to get a political solution without widespread political action. Talk about it, make it an issue that is just as important as anything else at the polls. Make other people understand the importance of the issue as well.
If gay marriage and pot legalization can become real, serious issues that the electorate cares passionately about then so can surveillance and the extension of essential liberty onto the internet.
- noarchy 13y agoGay marriage and pot legalization haven't done anything to diminish the power of the State. If anything, they've done the opposite, by introducing even more controls into certain areas of our lives. But leaving that aside, I think that governments find our privacy to be a much greater threat to their power than who they decide can get married, or what they decide people can smoke. I think that going after the surveillance state cuts much closer to the heart of their power.
