Some thing I found interesting about public opinion of our government from July 2014 Consumer Report

"..........., and 58 percent of respondents to our survey said the were worried about government spying by the National Security Agency."

First it brings to mind the Jefferson quote about governments should fear the people, the people should not fear their government.

Secondly, to specify the NSA as a source of fear and loathing is absolutely remarkable. Thank you Edward Snowden and it looks like American's are more aware of their totalitarian total information awareness police state government than I give them credit for.

So what the hell are all of us that love the ideals this country was founded on* gonna do about it, huh?

-90% Jimmy

*as opposed to our current state of anti-democracy Oligarchy
