You are confusing and mixing issues. There really are people trying to kill us. The fact that there really are bureaucracies trying to enslave us doesn’t mean we let the terrorists run wild.

The issues blur together when the bureaucracy is using the threat of terrorism to enslave us. This has been happening for over a decade. The only difference is the letter next to the name of the person occupying the White House.

Why do you say that? A guy with an R by his name started this.

If I remember correctly, the USPS scams all mail anyway for barcodes and there is a complex system that uses photo scans for handwriting recognition. I’m assuming that there now exists technology that can record every piece of mail and potentially save an image of it.

why do I feel like a mobster... being assumed and treated as guilty until proven innocent.

Oh I know it started mostly under Bush (although Clinton deserves a small amount of credit), and I wasn't clear, just trying to make the point that any of us could be considered potential terrorists depending on who is in the WH.

And that threat of terrorism will be used to erode the Constitution over time, since both parties seem happy with that path.
