Quoting: Chrit Meaning the government has the ability to change through legislation governments own roll & with binding authority legitimize the use of force on its citizens to enact the newly legislated authority they granted to themselves. They are slowly changing the legal routinized administration of bureaucracy to give themselves more power without legislating it properly. It is merely the illusion of legitimacy by that we accept the slow erosion of accepted procedure for new and illegal precedence. Yep - all these NSA snooping disclosures are a perfect case in point. Q - Is our privacy breached if our mail from/to is photographed, if our call METADATA is captured, if our e-mail/text/blogging is sniffed and recorded but magically and mysteriously nobody alive looks at it? A - Damn right it is. |
