Comment Re:Eventually people will look up... (Score 1) 894

ICE is not TSA though they are both under DHS.

As for murder? Well, just wait until someone resists. You will find that, just as in the case of the Bostom bombing, not only will direct suspects be killed under strange circumstances where witnesses and evidence contradicts official stories, but people who knew the suspects are also killed. Kind of sounds like what you're saying of the Gestapo.

You're either being intentionally deceitful or you're wilfully ignorant of what has been going on.

It's sad that you're getting modded as troll, as you're quite correct. People here constantly say that they appreciate what Apple is doing in requiring approval of all software, and in not allowing alternative software sources. It's very much the same as the people that say "I don't mind the NSA spying on me as I have nothing to hide", not thinking of the future where you have no alternatives.

Comment We haven't surrendered (Score 2) 228

That's the thing that I can't get past. We haven't surrendered anything. We haven't "traded" security for liberty. We haven't made any bargains of the sort. All of these "erosions" on our freedoms and rights have been perpetrated against us without our will and without our knowledge. They have lied and cheated and stolen from us our birthrights as humans as recognized and defined to us under the US constitution. And without the revelations, the world would still be living under the huge, thick blanket of lies.

Are we all expected to blame ourselves for "voting someone in"? This goes back futher than many people know and isn't tied to any one president or any one political party. We keep wanting to simplify everything to the point that we simply can't and do not want to understand the full scope of the disillusionment we are experiencing.

If they are infinitely weaker, then by the math of the infinite, they must have been infinitely powerful which is not what they should be. And since they are STILL doing the things they have been doing with no indication that they have stopped or slowed down in any way, they must STILL be infinitely powewrful.

Where an organization like that exists, we are all in danger.

I think it's a bad idea tying yourself to any operating system that does not have multiple supplier options for hardware. Eventually the sole supplier will decide they want to raise prices beyond what you're comfortable with, or make hardware decisions that are not optimal for you. Public institutions should not be able to choose these types of solutions where more open ones exist.
