I know halloween's over but...

... this ought to scare you!

Yeah... its a long read... but it's better to know these things.

I remember back in the 80's.... when it was the KGB that did things like this... and that's why they were bad.

and it does. I wonder when the monitors get installed in your home?

The best way to fight this is just to destroy the information before the feds can get it. Preserve things for ONLY the time they are required to be preserved. If the information is GONE, they can analyse it.

Of course, all the marketing crap that they claim to gather for their private use (the companies that gather it) has to go.

Honestly... that's a thought that's been on my mind for a while (the last 5 years or so).

We can't keep going the way we are.

I'd say if the jackass manages to steal a third term, there's going to be violence. And lest you think that impossible, Nixon tried it.

Franklin D. Rosevelt actually did it... 4 times.

Unfortunately, he died before his 4th term started.

He's the reason for the amendment.

As it stands now, the absolute most you can be president is 10 years.

And actually: All of the recent presidents have attempted to extend their term limits. It's just one of those things that gets done each time around. To the point where it isn't news.

Looks like they killed the link.

Sometimes it's just better not to know.
