So is the NSA former head saying the NSA will allow or create a terrorist attack on citizens to create pro-spying legislation, just like gunwalker / fast and furious was supposed to do?

War on Drugs is against the citizens of the USA, and the NSA has been a part of this with the SOD and parallel construction. So one could make the argument that anyone involved with the NSA is guilty of treason.

Ownership... In this case its like land ownership, sure you "own" your land, but you have very little rights regarding it. Need permission to do just about anything as far as construction or modifying the property. And if the govt decides that your land has greater benefit with someone else owning it, they can take it and give it to them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelo_v._City_of_New_London

And if you want to be the person owning it next year, you have to pay your yearly property taxes. Although the more I type, the more it sounds like govt leases land to the people, as "ownership" doesn't really fit with how it is.

So it depends on what definition of ownership is used.

They don't even have to respond. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columbia

Most of the school/mass shootings, they first set up a perimeter. Clearing the building comes later, usually after everyone is dead.

I believe the OP story. I have a Vertex 3, all it does is lose data. I get DRDY errors left and right in linux. Sometimes the drive goes for seconds or minutes where all it does it spit out IO read errors. This is the third vertex 3 I've been through (first two were sent as replacements). Finally, I just figured out if you ignore all the errors, and let it run its course, they eventually go away and the drive returns to normal. Though randomly the errors come back, and sometimes I lose data, but I've become accustomed to this "flakyness" and just put my linux root partition on the SSD drive, and all /home and senstive data on a HDD.

There has been a few times when I thought it was bricked, but taking the SSD out and putting it as a 2nd drive in another computer then running the OCZ software works (or maybe its just coincidence). I first run the TRIM commands from the OCZ software, then if that doesn't work, I start over with a secure erase. And of course the latest firmware...

In any case, I always wondered what caused all the IO errors, I thought it was too many read/writes to sectors because of /tmp wasn't moved to ram in fstab (which I later did). Now I know that its the power failures (which I have had).

Is not for terrorism, or even drug fighting. Its a tool for the Democrats or Republicans, whoever is in power, to snoop on their political opponents and line their pockets by stealing civilian secrets. Look at the IRS scandal, look at Fast & Furious / Gunwalker. Nothing is beyond this out of control, corrupt as heck govt. Probably more corrupt than Russia or wherever in the world, they just were able to hide most of it (until Snowden).

And a GPS tracker planted on your car isn't tracking YOUR movements, its tracking the movements of the govt owned GPS tracker. LOL at your distinction.

Also, tell me where in the Constitution this is stated as something the govt is to do. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of the constitution knows its duties are enumerated, not infinite.

Then why do people get upset at surveillance man? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7tBHV0xu68

Agreed, several times I've seen a cop from a mile back go 20mph+ to tailgate me (at an illegal following distance). They are above the law, and the law only applies to citizens.

In my state, police are completely exempted from speed limits.

You have the state govt's confused with the federal. Federal govt can only do what is authorized in the constitution, no more. States are only bound by their constitution (and by the bill of rights via 14ths incorporation).

You need to read what Madison wrote in his veto of a public works bill. Or maybe you need to read who Madison was...

Well its not criminal as they control washington and make the rules up as they go along.

His stat was not correct, it was 89%. Here's the source http://archive.mrc.org/biasbasics/biasbasics3.asp

"In April 1996, the Freedom Forum published a report by Chicago Tribune writer Elaine Povich titled, “Partners and Adversaries: The Contentious Connection Between Congress and the Media.” Buried in Appendix D was the real news for those concerned about media bias: Based on the 139 Washington bureau chiefs and congressional correspondents who returned the Freedom Forum questionnaire, the Washington-based reporters — by an incredible margin of nine-to-one — overwhelmingly cast their presidential ballots in 1992 for Democrat Bill Clinton over Republican incumbent George Bush."

- 89 percent of Washington-based reporters said they voted for Bill Clinton in 1992. Only seven percent voted for George Bush, with two percent choosing Ross Perot.

- Asked “How would you characterize your political orientation?” 61 percent said “liberal” or “liberal to moderate.” Only nine percent labeled themselves “conservative” or “moderate to conservative.”

- Fifty-nine percent dismissed the Republican’s 1994 Contract with America “an election-year campaign ploy.” Just three percent considered it “a serious reform proposal.”

Too much incorrect to tackle all of it, but the last thing you said is the most incorrect. You cannot consent to give away any right.
