My American mother used to be able to:
- Walk onto an airplane without getting frisked.
- Be a conservative without being audited by the IRS or put on a Missouri DHS list.
- Not have kids reported for being 'anti-government.'
- Send mail without it getting spied on.
- Open up a foreign bank account without FBAR, FATCA, etc..
- Use large amounts of cash without being assumed a criminal.
- Be able to say non-PC stuff without being blockaded by college cry-bullies.
- Didn't have this SOPA bullshit.
Is it too much to ask for to have these fucking pretty basic freedoms back? Goddammit, thinking about this shit makes me depressed.
