Unintended Consequences?


Yes, that is the main thing keeping me from doing it.

But sometimes life is risk and if the stakes are high enough it is worth it. One of the problems our country is having right now is that nobody wants to put them self in harms way to fight for freedom. This is how someone could actually do that. But the issue is a lot more complicated than I have time to explain right now. I have to get to work.

OK, here is my question: Big Brother represents government, we recognize that. But it takes flesh and blood individuals to “watch” us, and report back to flesh and blood individuals who make up government. How difficult would it be to identify them for targeting when they’ve gone too far?

In other words, who gives the orders? Who reports to them? What are the job titles involved? And do we start at the top of the chain of command and work down (my preference; get the ones who GIVE THE ORDERS first) or with the data gatherers and work up?
