I can understand why people might have a fear of Government. I can understand that the big bully can be overwhelming to have breathing down your neck.
On the other hand. If you use credit cards, have a cell phone (Which today) is mostly smart phones for the average joe. They know who you are, where you are, what you are doing and most of all. Who you are communicating with.
If you use Facebook, they have access to that as well. They see it all... Websites, search activity programs, and programs you watch on TV....
The only things you have truely sacred in this world are when you wake up (unless you have stated so on social media), brush your teeth, take a dump and leave for work. Though in some vehicles, that may be recorded as well.
They know where you work, and could easily find out when you start, and when your shift ends.
If you are on the Internet at all during the day, they know what you are doing.
You have Cable, they know what you are doing.
The only persons who are truly private are people who are generally suspected of being something worse than a citizen with a complaint. Though we at times to get grouped into those categories as well. Because of something we said or who we might have associated with.
Those are the people who do not have cable, they do not have internet in their name, no phone in their name no credit.
It boggles me that people think they are hiding whilst still being a part of the Matrix. Yes I said Matrix.....
In the movie the goal was to disconnect. While you may be able to disconnect, you still are far from hiding. You would need to sell all quit all and Just sit there and breath while eating saltines and cracker jacks...
Who can do that...
We are slaves to a system which is much larger than we can imagine. Are you willing to disconnect? Can you give up your Retirement? House? Job? Internet? Family? Cable? Car?
Ok, I forgot about homeless people. They are generally private if the are not in jail all the time.... For Drugs, Alcohol, selling their ass... You going to sell your ass on the street?
Stay on the site, and lets have a discussion....
