LulzSec Posts First Secret Document Dump

Dangerous_Minds writes "LulzSec has been vowing to expose government secrets for the last few days. Now they have delivered. According to ZeroPaid, LulzSec has posted secret documents about Arizona Law Enforcement. The release has been posted to file-sharing website ThePirateBay. LulzSec says the release is because they are 'against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona.'"

Re:Not for public distribution?

What free democratic country are you talking about? I didn't know those existed anywhere other than fantasy land.

I live in the U.S., a republic. You know, the electoral college? The House of Representatives selected Thomas Jefferson as president over Aaron Burr when the college tied (as the Constitution demands). The Supreme Court arbitrarily chose George W. Bush over Al Gore in 2000 (I've never received a sufficient explanation for that one). A Supreme Court justice is appointed for life. State legislatures draw out congressional districts to get the results they want. The Patriot Act. Judges can make up laws by way of 'precedent' (isn't it ironic that every judge thinks the Constitution agrees with their worldview and this changes every couple generations?). The 3/5ths compromise. Any idiot can become a police officer and abuse their fellow citizens' civil liberties. A police officer's testimony is assumed true in the court of law regardless of any actual evidence. The Ron Paul/Barney Frank bill to end the federal criminalization of marijuana won't even be debated in the House because ONE congressman who leads the Judiciary Committee opposes it. Is any of that free and democratic?

Even if you take the popular vote into consideration, or maybe congress, only like 40% of the population votes.

I'm all for openness, freedom, and blah blah blah but only AFTER something is done about education in this country. I don't give a damn about the will of the majority until the majority knows what the fuck they're talking about. Like, when people actually know what form of government the country currently has - A REPUBLIC. Talking about a free democratic nation is as absurd as talking about a harmonious communist nation. Reality is never ideal.

So don't talk about "Democracy fails if such and such happens." Democracy never worked to begin with.
