texting while driving

well in the wake of recent information about synthetic life, huge security changes by facebook, google and others, immigration fiasco, and banking reform, it is apparent that our government is too busy saving us from ourselves to recognize the broad changes that are occurring. we, the people, have abdicated our authority over the government and had them severely limit our personal freedoms, all in the name of protecting us. we can be spied on electronically with little recourse, huge electronic companies like google, facebook, and others treat our confidential information like they own it, and sell it to the highest bidder without our permission. the government does nothing. scientists are messing around with the human genomic sequence and the leadership has little to say or do to control it.

it's sorta like the government is texting while driving. we're gonna get in an accident sooner or later, it's just statistics and probability. fortunately they aren't wearing a seatbelt.
