Quote:Our freedoms are gone. They have been for at least 15 years. The next President will just use the blood from Boston and Sandy Hook and Aurora and Orlando and wherever's next to publicize and legitimize the stripping of our rights, and they'll be celebrated for doing it. America as we know it died somewhere between January and September of 2001.

Sure. So do we maintain the status quo, or make changes?  Sadly, its the few that make changes for the many. 

My mind has changed in some cases. Do we eavesdrop at potential areas of danger ( mosque, KKK, Black Panther HQs) or even those that spread vitriol through speech, marches, protests .( Westboro) Do we profile at airports, border check points? 

Its already happening. Love him or hate him, patriot or traitor ..Snowden has put out some interesting information out there just for starters. ( Cameras with facial recognition, equipped with superior sound pick ups that can hear a conversation while you sit at a red light, installed in everything from street lights to traffic lights )

The world has changed, and so has America.and it will continue. I wish we could contain it, but how? Wiping out ISIS? You dont rid yourself cockroaches after youve crushed a few. 

Im postive our immigration, surveillance ,etc programs will change...even if, and probably wont, hear all about it
