Good bye

The latest bill that's been passed, the FISA act, has destroyed the last few shreds of hope I had in this representative democracy known as the United States of America. The Constitution has taken a back seat to the piggy banks of telecoms that payed the senators who voted in favor of the bill.
The legalizing of warrantless wiretapping is bad enough. What really stings is the retroactive immunity. It's like, a perversion of Ex Post Facto laws...

People say I shouldn't worry about it, unless I'm doing something wrong. Well, I'm not doing anything wrong, but when people look at me, or even my name, they see a terrorist. Sure, "they don't profile" I just get "randomly" picked for further testing every single time that I fly.

I used to believe in this country. But it seems that the only thing worth believing in is the almighty dollar. Corporations run this country because they've got the money.
So with that, I'm saying good bye.
There will be no more updates to this blog because the only thing that gets people thinking is money or the possibility of making money.
Maybe I'll research personal finance...
