Is it evil ways or altruism,
that launched the operation called prism?
This is a task on an enormous scale,
involving phone calls, facebook and US Mail.
Privacy is dead and gone.
You think you're alone but there's never just one.
The state they have their eyes on you,
so better behave and pay your taxes too.
To be targeted by the IRS or the NSA
which one is better who can say?
One thing I know for sure.
I don't think their motives are all that pure.
Cameras in space and bugs in the walls,
who's fault is it if the Government falls?
It might not be yours, certainly won't be mine.
Who's that? Is there someone else there on the line?
Obama is watching. He's got your number,
whether you're alive or dead or in a slumber.
I'd love to tell you more but I have to go,
The NSA are here to take me to Guantanamo.

and on its people. This is nothing new. It goes on everywhere
and has been going on for decades. If I was in power I would do it too.
You would too Metal Brain, tell the truth, be honest.

The USA have been responsible for violations
of human rights just the same as other countries
that don't fit your bill of an ideal state.
Obama has your number, Sgt. Sasquatch. Don't you forget it.
Better look under your car before you start the engine. 😵

Opponents would have little chance of winning an election against me if I did all that. I would have no need to spy on people in my own country, just on other countries.

Originally posted by KazetNagorraNo, I would be spying on foreign countries and secure the border. Only a foreign invasion would be a true threat. My people would love me because I wouldn't exploit them.

Only border crossings would be subject to harsh scrutiny. I would want to know who is coming into my country and why.

Nice.
In other words, the present state of the US demonstrates it is a failed experiment. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The Cremation of Sam McGee
BY ROBERT W. SERVICE
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
