I really am saddened to live in a country run by fascist morons.
This country, like many other so-called "Western Democracies" has been going downhill for years regarding true freedom and privacy but this current bunch of scum seem to have learned from the early days of cryptography on the internet and things like the Clipper Chip. Sadly, what they have learned is that only declaring that the government own every piece of information and that anyone trying to hide anything is a terrorist will get their way.
Unfortunately, nobody in this poor excuse for a country seems to care.

As in my country, the citizenry does not care because it does not understand.

For the average user, a computer is a mystickal magickal mysterious box of mystery.
