I doubt Francis Scott Key had this in mind as he penned the final lines of The Star Spangled Banner.

The truly scary thing is that nothing is really being done about it. People will bitch and moan for a few more months and then forget about it and move on. Eventually it'll just become normal and expected. That is the real way we lose our liberty. One little step at a time.

That is because most people are too comfortable in their lives of unquestioning servitude. Corporations can be thanked for that.

They've already forgotten. Now they're talking about who's going to be on Dancing with the Stars. It's like, "NSA, who?"

I think that is the most frustrating thing is to see the rise of a new Empire and you the intelligent person has to sit and watch. Maybe there will be one more revolution and the corptocracy will end.

If that was during Bush's administration people would probably be protesting.

I'll continue to rail. I'll continue to scream against the NSA's spying program.

I don't have much to live for. Humanism is the only basis I have left to go on. "Leave the world a better place than it was before you."

Fuck the NSA. Bring 'em on. I'll keep trying to get people to remember and fight back. The fight is only lost when all the soldiers have thrown down their guns.

Bill Nye, if you can believe it. I'm sorry he sold out.

Um, it was during Bush's administration that the PATRIOT act went into effect allowing widespread warrantless spying by the government.
