That’s all.

Because the government is FOR the people.

And shouldn’t have the right to carte blanche use anything against its people without reason.

Would you be happy for the government to hover a drone outside your bedroom filming your every move 24/7, 365 a year?

What if they water-boarded your kids?

And what if they were wrong?

So the means the G uses is absolutely ALWAYS in question.
Because as you can see, sometimes the means don’t justify the ends.

I want to be safe too, but am I willing to give up my bedroom for permanent government viewing or torture of loved ones? Fuck that. I’ll take a restricted government with a higher chance of a crime committed than a dictatorship with its people under surveillance any day.

They would NEVER get away with this in 2018.
