My youngest daughter tried that for 6 months, and then came home. She lived and worked in Changsha, the birthplace of Mao.

Actually Fred you are wrong, very wrong. This country is beginning to mirror Nazi Germany in a very big way, "Your Papers Please" is becoming reality.

I guess the real point here is that we have drifted far from being free, yet we apparently are oblivious to this fact (either that or most of us prefer to keep our heads in the sand rather than face the reality of our situation).

In about 1983 Leonard Peikoff (Ayn Rands chosen intellectual heir) already saw the handwriting on the wall, and that is why he penned the book titled "The Ominous Parallels", which paralleled Nazi Germany with the direction being taken by the United States.

Reality IS what an individual makes it! We are by far from NAZI Germany! Keep telling yourself that we are and you will become delusional if you already not! Be thankful for what you have and stop the minuscule complaining about how bad things are!

My issue with this is; the two year wait.

Many people have said if you have not broke the law you have nothing to worry about, but a sad statistic is, 25% of divorce cases today have some evidence of Facebook in them.

And for those that say they will never be divorced; I had a guy say the same thing to me when I went through my first divorce. He had a nice "the lack of commitment speech" and ranted on about how close him and his wife was, then 6 months later she met a guy online and after 29 years left him. He was devastated and it was pretty bad for him. Poor guy, but never say never.

No one knows what is going to be used against them two years later.

You do not understand the vile, contempt of a scorned woman then...they can take anything that is even remotely mild and twist it around. My ex sent me a bill because my daughters pants got dirty and wanted me to replace them; she was 4 and lived on a farm. The judge tossed that idea out but there it was...Facebook: Dad checked fence with daughter and she fell down.

We don't need the police doing the same stupid thing to try and get the guy they think did it.

The problem with this eavesdropping is this:

YOU don't get to decide what is right, and what is wrong - THE GOVERNMENT decides that. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: If you look at history, can you honestly tell me this is a GOOD idea???

That, my friends, should chill ANY American to the bone, regardless of political persuasion.

The law decides what is right and wrong....not the govt. Just like speeding...we know what the law is...if you abide by the speed limit...no problems...if not...PROBLEMS!

That sounds to me like guns kill people, people don't.

What came first, the chicken, or the egg? Laws like that don't just fall from the sky. They need a solid foundation of evil minded ignorant people and the corrupt politicians they elect.

Would you follow literally any law because it is the law? Would our Founders follow any law because it was the law? If they did, they would still be kissing the ring of the King and thanking him for his wonderful laws.
