You want to know how far the implementation of Big Brother government has gone? The Department of Homeland Security is collecting information on the books carried by law-abiding citizens traveling abroad and putting it in — you got it — a vast centralized database.
If this news had come out in 2000 or even in 2002, people would be screaming mad. But this news came out in 2007 over a weekend, and it barely registered in the face of concern over Britney Spears’ possible mental instabilities. Our civil liberties won’t be smashed with a bang. They’re being slowly extinguished with hardly a whimper.
Wow! But look – it’s more than just what you read. The government tracks where you go, and collects information of the people you meet with, where you stay, and what you take with you.
I don’t care if this is 2007 and not 2002. It’s an outrage!
I wonder what happens if you mention the 2004 vote fraud, drop the name Scull and Bones,
