    People need to stop thinking about Republicans vs. Democrats and starting think in terms of people vs. the government. We might be able to make positive change if we united.

      No, the government is huge, and most parts of it really don’t care about your data. They’re busy buildings roads, sewers and doing fundamental research. It’s really people vs the national security state.

        I think this is a chicken and egg situation, the more government the more it will morph into something bad for a portion of the people.

          As it turns out you need a strong government with today’s world. You can’t get away with a small isolated country town like you could back when the US was starting out.
