    Surveillance Police State anyone?

It's becomming painfully obvious even to the casual observer, isn't it? And I realized recently that the problem isn't even that people don't "get it". That could be solved. Actually, the masses don't really seem to consider "surveillance police state" that much of a big deal anymore. I don't know how many more times I can hear someone insist that it's not a problem because they personally have nothing to hide before I just throw up into their dumb complacent cattle-face.
