Taking Over the World

Ever notice how if someone suggests taking over the world they are automatically deemed either a nut case or pure evil if not both? It seems like Hitler is the vision that comes to mind or some horrific 1984 scenario yet people "keep calm and carry on" as if all is normal when the US government employs ridiculous "security measures" such as wire tapping every American citizen without warrant. It's more and more a case of guilty until proven innocent or "if you're doing nothing illegal you shouldn't care that we're monitoring your every breath as if you're a homicidal maniac". I'm sure that the NSA is doing nothing positive. I hear on The Young Turks all the time about how NSA members are listening in on phone sex conversations. I wouldn't be surprised if that were 90% of what they're doing rather than caring about actual terrorism or illegal activity such as child molestation etc. But on the bright side they're confiscating cell phones if you work in a state level legal marijuana dispensary! Woo yeah! All those dangerous pot heads getting chilled out and getting the munchies. So evil, they must be stopped. Meanwhile let's ignore all the rape victims and claim that they have "no proof" or that it's "their own fault" for being drunk or wearing short skirts or whatever. Yeah... I'm sure a single person who has the benefit of mankind at heart would be SO much worse than the US government. They might do something awful like giving people better sex education! Gasp!
