I have faith in my government, the laws and the American people.

I used to.

Now I believe the government will continue to expand and become more invasive at our expense at any opportunity--unless the people raise unmitigated Hell--for the collective good, of course.

I believe most people cannot be bothered to raise Hell, they are too caught up in trivia, too preoccupied with day to day survival, or just not going to get involved.

There are those who will embrace any new technology without regard to the possible abuses, and laud it to the masses.

There are those who will profit from the technology and will sell their mother to dogfood processors for a profit.

There are also those who will not see the problem with the free ride in the '40 and 8's' until they get to the camp.

I have great faith in the relative immutability of human nature.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. If it is in the 'arsenal' someone is going to take it for a test drive, sooner or later.
