I don't care personally if some governmental agency listens to our family's phone calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We have nothing to hide. The surveillors may expire from boredom, but that would be their problem.--Pat Boone
The only individuals whose privacy would have been infringed by the bill would have been the privacy of people with something to hide from the police - people who arm themselves and then become a threat to public safety.--Brady Campaign
That's quite a difference in philosophy between "conservative" and "liberal," wouldn't you say?
That's why I put quotation marks around "conservative" and "liberal"--what is being represented as such in the media is often just sleight-of-mind. The words of Carroll Quigley from "Tragedy and Hope" come to mind:
ReplyDelete"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy."
Or as my pal Steiger says:
"We've been conned. Bare-ass naked in the town square conned."
Yeah, I got nuthin' to hide,allright. 'Cept somethin' for all them nosy !@#!$%*&! what don't know how to mind their own !@#$!%$#! business. A one-man bungalow with silver handles.
ReplyDeleteI think I posted something about law enforcement's reaction to being put on the same spot? They really don't like it.
