I've been critical of the government from time to time--it's my right (and duty) as a citizen to be so if I think something wrong is going on. Is anyone going to stop me? No, I don't think so, and I'm not concerned about MiB showing up at my place, either. Do I care if the FBI, CIA, NSA, etc. know this? No, I don't really care; in fact some of my written criticism has been directed at these agencies in the past. I happen to think the Bill of Rights works, and I don't see anyone in government today big enough to tear it down so long as people will stand up for themselves and not act like sheep. Yeah, I remember Nixon, too. I've got a photo of myself and a pal, taken on the Plain of Jars the same day Nixon said "there are no Americans on the ground in Laos." Well, government lies are nothing new, are they? But I will have to say that in the current situation, government has done better than I'd have guessed they'd do.
