The system keeps pushing to do whatever it pleases. The more money and more power the system has, the more they feel they can get away with it.

I'm encouraged by the number of people waking up and seeking legal ways to way remedy the situation.

I'm highly discouraged by the amount of people who are willing to do as they are told, give up privacy because they like the fact that Google tells them where to avoid traffic jams during their morning commute, and those who just say, "Oh well. They will figure out everything anyways...."

It's easier for most to stay asleep.

I'm personally proud of the number of tin-foil hats I wear. I keep coming up with new designs for them -- one to match each outfit... :)

I've accepted that you cannot reason with unreasonable people. I've also accepted that you knowing the truth, being able to prove the truth and insist on provable truth being upheld, does not change the truth -- even when they deny it.

Many of their attitudes are, "What exactly are you going to do about it? We have more money than you. We can fabricate evidence against you anytime we want, hold you without cause, deny you an attorney and hold you indefinitely. Did we mention we can freeze all of your assets, ruin your reputation, completely destroy you -- all with the stroke of a pen and push of button on the keyboard?"

This is why they keep doing what they do.

I'm encouraged that more and more people realize the last thing we have to lose is our collective freedoms -- Everything America was founded on, everything we fought for. Without it, we are no longer America.
