@pbroviak nice state of affairs! Was he making a blanket statement on behalf of all politicians? :)
| raymondpirouz @charlesroper Hence the slippery slope. Question is, who *can* you trust? Now there's a business opportunity someone can bank on. |
|
| raymondpirouz Now I know why people talk about Britney Spears! It equals totally safe conversation & corporations make money to boot! Safe & profitable. |
|
| raymondpirouz Lack of trust = shut the lips and keep your thoughts to yourself. It equals tyranny and it equals the decline of humanity. |
|
| raymondpirouz If anything you say may be used against you, what does it mean for anything you type in TWITTER?! Lack of trust = Delete Twitter Account? |
|
| raymondpirouz If anything you say may be used against you, what does it mean for anything you may have typed to a friend using Gmail? Cracks in the wall.. |
|
| raymondpirouz @charlesroper Sadly I didn't trust them from the beginning. I still use an "old fashioned" mail client on my machine rather than Gmail. |
|
| raymondpirouz I will end it with this: Independence is the ultimate form of freedom -- it is in fact "a" freedom. But not all freedoms = independence. |
|
| raymondpirouz So, July 4th is "Independence Day" for a reason. Let's not forget! |
|
| raymondpirouz This is why it's important to pay close attention to the words used by officials during speeches. Words have meaning & are not used lightly. |
|
| raymondpirouz It's funny that you can, in fact, be free and tracked by spy satellites. You can also be free and be tracked online, and at the store, etc. |
|
| raymondpirouz You can't be independent & monitored by a police state or spy satellites. You can't be independent and tracked online. These are the issues. |
|
| raymondpirouz Independence means not subject to the will of a ruling class. It is a very important concept that represents a key step in human evolution. |
|
| raymondpirouz You can be "free" and live in tyranny! You can be free to move about in your quarters. Freedom is cheap. Independence is what we won in USA. |
|
| raymondpirouz After all, why is it called "Independence Day" and not "Freedom Day"? In the past we used to be "Subjects" of kings, subject to their will. |
|
| raymondpirouz July 4th isn't about flag waving and firecrackering....it's about remembering/ensuring/maintaining the freedoms our forefathers set up. |
|
| raymondpirouz This isn't true in communist or totalitarian states. Is this the direction we're headed? Or will we maintain our independence as a people? |
|
| raymondpirouz The beauty of America has been that you can say or do just about anything (legal and/or non hurtful to others) w/o fear of retaliation. |
|
| raymondpirouz Living in fear of how one's actions may come back ater to be used against them by some fascist corporate or government interest = tyranny. |
|
| raymondpirouz Trust is a key factor in maintaining a free society that doesn't calculate each move. Having to calculate one's next move does not = freedom |
