I am in my 50's and have gotten into many a "debate" with my children and others, in their mid 20's and normally they can never understand why I am so mad, frustrated etc. An example would be I have been telling them for a few years that every phone call and email we make is recorded and kept on record. When everyone figured it out thanks to Snowden, I briefly revisited the topic with them and a normal response is "I don't have anything to hide". When I talk of the U.S. becoming (is) a police state and how "they" control everything we read, see and hear in the media, another typical response is "I have life good, I don't see a problem"
I have failed my children and they are nothing but mass consumers, happy with whatever is going on as long as they have their nice car etc.
You have no idea how much it saddens me to hear responses like this from anyone, let alone my own children, but from the moment a person is born the brainwashing begins. From organized religion to their entertainment, they are controlled like an avatar in a video game and don;t even realize it.
I can't even imagine what my granddchildren will think after i am gone and there isn't anyone around questioning things like privacy, torture etc........world dominance is pretty much complete and as I figure my best days are behind me, I have decided to take a stand and while many think it is wrong, i am afraid nothing else works so I am going to do my best to hit them where it hurts them most, their wallet and begin a terrorist camapign until my life is over or caught. I truly am sickk and tired of it and can no longer just sit idly by
