I know it’s over and done with, but I spent 3 full days feeling very ill-at-ease. So many people think government scrutiny can’t happen to them; well, obviously it can, and for no justifiable reason, and without probable cause.
Here’s something interesting for everyone to think about. Lack of Privacy was a topic of research and discussion in the HS Senior English Seminar I taught last semester. 26 out of 27 students (aged 17-18) said they had no problem/did not care that the government was screening their “data transmissions” because it keeps them safe (not IF, which requires oversight and probable cause, but BECAUSE, which assumes the government is only doing it for the betterment/increased safety of our society.) This is the generation that will be in charge during my twilight years. (I’m 54)
We are so f***** .
