translation: i am a compliant and complicit little authoritarian; i am only being molested a *little* bit, and it is done quite professionally, so i don't know why you would think a kid would be upset by mandatory molestation by strangers in uniforms in public...
geez, they are just pretending to search us, and they are just pretending we are safe, now, we are just pretending we are free...
...it is THEIR fear which drives this orwellian nightmare, NOT our 'fears'...
*OUR* fears have to do with economic uncertainty, lack of opportunity, being fiscally raped -repeatedly- by the uberklass,unwarranted -if not warrantless- spying, and 'our' (sic) leaders selling out our rights, heritage, and resources...
we ARE afraid of 'our' (sic) gummint, NOT al qaeda... we're afraid of destitution, not socialism... we're afraid of killing a planet, not making a killing... we're afraid we've slid so far down this slippery slope, there's no climbing back out again...
we're afraid all right, but not of a literal handful of PEOPLE WE HAVE WRONGED, but afraid of the ones doing the wronging...
yes, exactly: there IS a perception that if kops are there, it MUST BE 'official' and/or 'mandatory'...
here's the thing: they've made it (WRONGLY AND COUNTERPRODUCTIVELY, as far as i'm concerned) so kops can LIE OUT THEIR ASSES to entrap us in all kinds of shit, BUT there are ZERO consequences for KOPS LYING TO US... in fact, they get a fucking medal for lies to entrap us...
so, they have given the donut eaters a license to LIE TO US ALL THE TIME FOR ANY REASON WITH NO CONSEQUENCES, and wonder why we don't 'trust' them ? ? ?
1. you may (OR MAY NOT) be correct in that there is no DNA testing going on; however much i may believe you, that doesn't translate to ANYTHING MEANINGFUL when judging the veracity of the donut eaters, et al... THEY LIE TO US ALL THE TIME AND HAVE ZERO CREDIBILITY, ZERO...
2. i have ZERO doubt that they -a la that piece of shit ollie north- think it would be a 'neat idea' to get a twofer out of unsuspecting sheeple...
3. further, while it MAY BE there is no intention or use of it by the immediate processors to screen DNA, WHO KNOWS who else will get a hold of these samples, etc...
i'm sorry, the gummint has repeatedly proven they are NOT TO BE TRUSTED, and EVERY ACTION should be treated with extreme skepticism and minute scrutiny...
yes, thank you, the point i was going to make: it doesn't matter what the 'difficulty' of cracking, or how 'secure' the technology is, The They (tm) simply make it 'illegal' to circumvent, like DRM...
simply another means of Empire jacking up anyone at anytime: the kriminalization of living...
all the manufs will put in 'clipper' chips pretty soon and be done with it, linux and linux users will be outlawed ('when linux is outlawed, only outlaws will have linux'), and there will only be the One, True EmpireOS, which will be presented in a subscription form only...
so, i'm just wondering, will the barcodes be on our foreheads, or our wrists ? ? ?
...or will they use those little pixeley box things ? ? ?
...and will we get our own little matrix cocoon with -what looked like- BNC jacks up our spine ? ? ?
crap, i forget which color pill i'm supposed to take...
i get that comment sections of blogs get the 'my sister made $15235 from home...' crap (and -really- easy to ignore at its low level), but email spam ?
who gets that crap ? i don't think i have a LOT of email accounts, prob average (5-6?), but i hardly EVER, get ANY 'spam'... what am i doing wrong ?
i get LOTS of 'junk email' that i technically signed up for when i created any of a million fucking 'accounts' you are forced to register for at practically every fucking website in the world, but i get close to ZERO unsolicited emails...
i seriously doubt my ISP is doing anything special in filtering it out, and i don't have anything particular set up in thunderbird, but i don't get much/any spam...
at work, we have the idiotic barracuda 'spam filter' crap, and it is total shit: THE ONLY THING it has blocked have been legitimate emails, NOT SPAM ! AND it CONTINUES to block them, even after i've said "these emails are okay"...
oh well... guess i have to watch monty python for my spam...
what galls me is, it took ONE OUTLIER judge to actually do his job and defend the constitution which the kongresskritters, admin, spooks themselves, etc HAVE NOT DONE TO DATE...
*NOW* it is 'suspect' ? ? ? where was your fucking brain (not to mention 'oath' to uphold/defend the constitution) this whole time, feinstein, king, etc ? ? ?
no, the problem is that NO ONE stood against this EXCEPT for the few like snowden, manning, kiriakou, browning, hammond, etc, who are being persecuted for doing their patriotic duty which the kongresskritters and emperor failed to do... repeatedly... over decades...
The conservatards are in an overt war against us. These are enemy combatants and traitors to the Constitution. If they are willing and able to take up arms agasint us, then they should be shot as war criminals. Save the court time, the appeals time. Just march them in back of the court and deliver a brass verdict.
there, fixed that for ya', sparky...
*sigh* another propaganda victim who denies the humanity of all non-amerikans...

shit, i'm not too far from joining my brothers and sisters who insist The They(tm) are shape-shifting reptilian overlords... *THAT* would almost make a certain amount of sense...
1. kudos to mike for a difficult stance, defending free speech is difficult far too often, because people don't understand the implications when they go down the censorship road...
2. this is really a difficult clash of morals for me: while NOT a fire-breathing libertariantard, i *do* appreciate their valuing the right of a private business owner to run their bidness as they see fit... *now*, if that means they don't serve teh gays, or even blacks, or whites, or atheists, or whatever, then that is THEIR bidness...
*ASIDE* from whatever the law is, they may be acting immorally, they may be acting cruelly, they may be acting intolerantly... BUT, IF they are truly FREE, are they not free to act in a disagreeable manner ? ? ?
i would *HOPE* their 'unfair' policies would be made public, and i would *HOPE* that enough of their clientele would disapprove and/or boycott them, they would either change their tune, or go out of bidness and let a more tolerant bidness owner make a go of it...
HOWEVER, the problem that arises, is that the premise of this 'argument', is there are OTHER bidnesses of that type to turn to if you spurn the ones that are known to be intolerant jerks...
if you live in small town or rural amerika, you can be run off, ruined, or terrorized by such actions where a small coterie of bigots and big shots rule the roost, and screw over anyone they disapprove of...
(in point of fact, it is *just* such types of autocratic behaviors which lead to many laws forbidding 'discrimination', etc...)
having said that, i don't care where you live, WHO would want to 'force' a photographer (or pretty much anyone) to perform a service for you when they didn't want to do that, FOR WHATEVER REASON OR NO REASON AT ALL ? ? ?
again, as others have pointed out -and as some seem too stubborn to permit- this is an ARTISTIC exercise, to one extent or another; and you are FORCING an artist who doesn't like you to do your portrait, etc ? ? ?
i will take this opportunity to remind kampers of two factoids:
1. we are STILL being (mis)governed under a 'state of emergency' that has been continued every since nine one one...
2. for the few pollyannas out there: kongresskritters HAVE PASSED various 'COG' (continuation of gummint) bills for quite some time now... needless to say, kongresskritters are the number one kritters to be served and protected in case this house of cards collapses, or the sheeple bare their fangs...
further, given the VERY EXISTENCE of so-called 'executive signing statements' (read: Emperor's Proclamations), never mind *secret* executive signing statements, WHO THE FUCK KNOWS what 'laws' we are being governed under...
traitors to the constitution, the whole washingtoon swamp of them...
