Why won't the NSA give the FBI theirs? Selfish :)

I asked a person who lived in former Soviet Union State (strong arm place) a question
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, May 04 2012 @ 10:43 PM EDT
Once upon a time, I was talking to some folks, and nearby,
listening, was a person that I knew had lived in a former
Soviet state (and was actually in possession of a piece of
the president of that country's desk from his office, tat
was collected when there was a "little revolution" - so
guess how close the action this person was...).
The state was a locked down one where the government and
spies were everywhere.

I asked this question of the small group of folks that I was
talking to:

What is better, a state of total control (government), or a
state of chaos (lack of any control)?

Ans: The person, then visited our little group, and in
seconds, without hesitation, stated:

Chaos.

Think about it. Chaos, you have freedom.

Total control, you don't.

The paranoids have locked all the freedom doors, and thrown
away the key, because freedom, is a threat to control.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to loose - Kris
Kristofferson

Oracle wants control. All those in power, get addicted to
it. Got the picture. Same song, another verse.
