Throughout history, it has been shown.. that any group that has surrendered freedoms and controls on their lives -that are in their own hands- have ultimately lost their freedom to empirical delusionals, or to fascism. Reductions in freedoms is NOT the way, and history has played this out with the same result, so many times that only a fool would consider it. Work with your government actively, not passively. Keep your freedoms, and move to action, not be stalled in your private world. it is your own indifference which allows the current situation to even begin to happen in the first place. Accept NO losses in freedoms,whatsoever. Get off your ass, and find answers, and they won't be easy ones.
The answers will never be easy, or simple to find, and most will turn away from difficulty to such a degree, that they are willing to blind themselves to the ultimate, and even the immediate costs. When you where a small child, you learned to use your newly found intellect to hide your monkey from the concept and fear of death. Once again, you apply this psychosis here. Childhood learning and programing sure does come in handy, doesn't it? Obviously, the issue I am addressing is greater than the MPAA.
This is the path of history: wise enough to see the possible dangers of loss of freedoms.. but too damned lazy and desirous of personal ease and comforts -- to make the effort to keep those freedoms.
Basically, you know better (and, in the future can say 'knew better'), but do nothing.
