You seem kind. Thank you for that.

I was simply stating the US government 3 letter agencies have been disregarding the law when it comes to our privacy for many years. I didn't communicate the statement very well. Sorry.

I don't have faith in the liberal system. It's been failing us regular people since it's inception. If there were more people like you, it might stand a chance at being slightly less exploitative.. You're not the average person running things, though.

And anyways, you can't reform a system that has exploitation at it's core.

A revolution will take place one day. It might not be in our lifetime, or maybe it'll be next year, who knows.

Take care kind stranger.

Yah, I agree, the three letter agencies have run roughshod.

Cheers. Hopefully we both live to see things get better, somehow.
