Elusive Sense

CONSIDERING THE SIZE of the united states government, the size of the united states, and the sheer number of people who must've known about the big government surveillance project - you know, the one in which you, i , and all of us are being "monitored" by big brother, online, and on the phone -

considering the size of all this, how on earth could anyone with even a modicum of sanity have thought for an instant that it would be possible to keep the whole affair "secret" from the american people? For how long?

Excuse me? Hello? This young fellow snowden was certainly some speical high ranking big shot in the government whos responsiblity is national security and the defeat of international terrorism -
he was just an ordinary joe.

So how many people, including every single member of congress, president obama, and doubtless many of his top assistants, must have known? Did michelle know? Somehow, i have my suspicions.

I always get a lught when people think that the united states government his hiding alien bodies, and has been for generations, passing the secret key from president to president. When will smith's sone asked obama about the preserved aliens, the president said :"if i told you, i'd have to kill you".

The united states government could keep a crash of alien spacecraft, and several dead bodies secret - for about ten minutes, tops. Trust me.

If we're really trying to protect the country and defeat itnernational terrorism by creating top secret government projects to monitor the american people electronically, and to keep it a secret, then i fear greatly for our republic.

I fear that we are descending into a dictatorial police state, I fear  that our chances of succeeding in protecting the country are remote at best, and,  most frightening of all, i fear that our judgment and common sense are eluding us, at the very moment when we need them most.
