"This is true, but then again in order to achieve high levels of security clearance you have to be square and lack the ability to think freely. Well you can 'think' freely, you just can't communicate freely. I think there is something fundamentally wrong with someone who lets someone else control his/her actions."
I take it you've been through the security clearance process and can actually speak knowledgley about this?
No? Didn't really think so.
You know when I went through the process they never once mentioned how I should think.... No they asked about drug use, affiliations with foriegn nationals, and police record. Don't remember if personal use of crypto ever came up as a topic of discussion.
Oh wait I see what you mean they don't really need to ask, they've got that brain reading machine that does it for them... Yeah, see we all know how unreliable a polly is so what they must really be doing is making you sit in a shielded room so that they can tune a brainwave reader to your specific frequency.... Yeah that must be it.
People that work at NSA/CIA/FBI are no differnt then the idiots (myself included) that post on/. and heck a lot of them might be the same people.
How do the people with security clearances allow others to control their actions?
Can they go to a baseball game?
Can they cheat on their spouse if they really want to?
I knew this one chick that worked at NSA (Air Force girl) that had her labia pierced.....
How do they force you to act in any manner that you wouldn't anyway?
I don't get it.
if [ poverty == bad ]
protest a convention that isn't a policy making event?
or
if [ poverty == bad ]
donate time & money to charity works while writing current policy makers with ideas for change
Which is right? I would say the second one, but most of the protestors don't seem to agree. This reminds me of the people protesting the arrest and conviction of the alleged cop killer in New Jersey at the Internation Monitary Fund, and Wold Bank meeting in DC recently. What do these organizations have to do with that situation? Nothing but the protestors were there. Also during that event, numerous papers carried a quote from one of the protestors, to paraphrase, "I'm just here 'cause it's cool."
And about taking my money to the grave with me.... I have no desire to do that, but I would like to think that my kids, and grand kids can benefit from any success that I have.

Every person has a right to an opinion, whether you agree with it or not.
Please, if you can honestly say you believe what you are saying don't post anonymously. Be proud of what you are saying!

Yeah but see they are OFFICERS (read PHB) they don't actually touch equipment.
I don't get it.
