All fun aside... our gov't has set a precedent in the last ten years or so of acting as though it's first function is to regulate the society that empowers it. The general public does not give enough of a damn to stop this from happening. The population that has the power to elect the gov't has allowed the gov't to strip that power from its people. Unless ppl say stop, this trend will only become more invasive as technology spreads and develops.
