I don’t know of anybody who fits the description you’re talking about.

And there’s a heckuva difference between the free market doing stuff - where you can vote with your checkbook - and the government doing it (where they can mandate everything, for all those living in Rio Linda, as Rush might say).

For instance, Ford may have no reason to want to program my car to go 100 mph and crash into a tree, but I can guarantee you that there are people in the US and HI government who would like to. And if I had a car that had On-Star they have the means and opportunity to do it as well as motive.

Also, how the heck is watching my every move making this country safer from terrorist attacks? Tell me exactly how that is helping anybody. For surveillance purposes it is only CLOGGING their system because they’ve got that much more data to sift through. All that surveillance on me, and yet they had the Tsarnaev brothers in their sights and didn’t do a dang thing about it, before they helped Osama Bin Laden’s son Hamza blow up the Boston Marathon finish line.

But then, they had Hamza in the hospital also, and the forensic evidence to label him a “known terrorist” but what did the federal government do? They sent Michelle Obama to visit him in the hospital, took off the “known terrorist” classification, and sent him out of the country so the Boston Police couldn’t get him either. Only to let him in again 3 months later to gloat over a 4th of July event at the White House for US military personnel...

Anybody who talks about this regime following my every move in order to “keep us all safe” gets a big fat raspberry in the face from me. Get Hamza back here and put his sorry a$$ in jail right alongside Barry and Michelle his accomplices in terror, and THEN we can talk about the government using ANY of this stuff to “keep us safe”.

"I don’t know of anybody who fits the description you’re talking about."

There are plenty of people that use gmail, facebook, and other applications who think they are getting something for nothing, although I'm willing to admit that I don't know them all personally.

“And there’s a heckuva difference between the free market doing stuff - where you can vote with your checkbook - and the government doing it...”

In the case of the government we vote with our ballot.

In either case we have to have a candidate to vote for, otherwise all we can do is with hold our vote.
