Big Brother comes out of the closet

So now the Obama administration says all Internet based communication services must be capable of complying with federal wiretap orders.  Just like when they passed the Patriot Act, it is for our own good.  The only problem is that we might not agree with the federal government on what is good, and when that happens the government gets to decide in a very non-public way.

I am not naive enough to think our conversations are secure if the feds want to read/listen/see them.  The thing you have to ask yourself is, why do they need it to be a law?  I suspect that buried in this one is some other "for your own good" stuff that won't be talked about.  This is likely a piece intended to connect with some other "unrelated" item like fingers joining on a full Nelson against our liberty.

Paranoid?  Maybe, but that is no worse than being one of the useful idiots.

The fact is that our federal government is WAY over powered and our liberty is being crushed under it.  We already have the fed telling us what ideas are illegal, where does it end?  When do we wake up a realize that all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others?
