what are you seriously? A brainwashed moron who acts like a hard ass to get all of these impressionable youngins to look up to you and realize how cool it is to be 'patriotic' (nod your head and keep in line)? Because there
is a difference between patriotism and getting raped by your government. I've never seen such pure ignorance in my life. Maybe I don't come around and read often enough, but whenever I see your name, it's either some dumbass spam remark trying to look tough or fiercely agreeing with anything that this administration wants to do.
There is
no reason why any government agency need my iris or facial signatures, the thumb print is good enough. All of this big government bullshit needs to settle down quickly or we're in for a rough ride. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and at the moment, too much power is in the hands of too few. It doesn't make any sense, I'm sure they'll use it to "track" terrorists even though chances are these "terrorists" won't be in their data base anyway. It could certainly be something
much more sinister.

I don't get this, it's a huge ass circle, the government feeds off of terrorism just as much as terrorism feeds off the government. Sure these "terrorists" are some backwards people, but we've given them plenty of reason to not really appreciate us. While I'm sure in some cases it may be true, I highly doubt that they truly hate us as a society, more of it is about how imperialistic/bully-like our government is. We just need to gtfo and settle down... I wish we could exist as an imperialistic hegemony should and actually help rather than hurt.
George Orwell laid out the plans in 1984 and it's all slowly falling into place, it even almost Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, though books aren't actually being burned -- the winners always write the history books.
