Arousing the Ire of the Wolves

PRESIDENT OBAMA is doing a magnificent job of apologizing to us all for presiding over the most missive surveillance police state in world history, and subjecting us to it. The President is doing an equally masterful job of assuring us that no, indeed, we are not being spied on, and there is nothing to worry about. The United States of America isn't spying on anyone, foreign or domestic, really. Just a few phone and email lists here and there. Nothing to get all upset about. So first Obama apologizes, then reminds us that he is apologizing about nothing. Barack Hussein Obama is as good and true a apokesperson for the military industrial surveillance complex as ever America has had, in the land of the free. Whatever it takes to keep the masses in their places, harmlessly seduced and sedated, innocuously surveilled. In the end, it really doesn't matter what our overlords know about us; it only matters what they do to us. Two hundred emails and phone calls to the Pesident and every member of Congress should be enough to get somebody's attention. If the people become inattentive, said Jefferson, to the affairs of government, the legislators and magistrates will divide society into two classes: wolves and sheep. That already happened, a long time ago. The most that we the sheep can hope to do now is to bleat with such unamimity, intensity, and consistency that the wolves become fearful, and lash out too fiercely at us, and inspire a strong response.
