Do you want to go to a resturant that has transparent stalls in there bathroom? If you got nothing to hide what's it matter? Do you have a problem with complete strangers reading your sexy texts to your significant other? Why you have nothing to hide. Do you like the idea of said text messages and maybe a sexy pic or two sent between you and your other half being sent around the office of said stangers and having them laugh and make jokes? Why you have nothing to hide... why not walk outside in stark naked? You have nothing to hide?!

That insane rant being over now, We in the United States have a contract with our mostly faceless government. That contract is called the Bill of Rights and by extention the US Constitution. You might want to go read them and seriously ask yourself which ones we've given away and had taken from us in the time since September 11th 2001. Now ask yourself which ones the government has given back... I'll help you.

Violated:

1st (Occupy was illegally attacked by Police by order of mayors and Governors in the states they were protesting in), 4th (which this page is asking you to protest and try and reform), 5th (americans can be sent to "Gitmo" without due process, also dozens of people in Gitmo have been found not guilty but are still illegally detained there [also check out Salinas v. Texas from 2013, nice bit of evil from the Supreme Court), 6th (again Gitmo but there are cases in the US over the past few years of counsel being denied to defendants), 7th and 8th (if you need reminding Gitmo has dozens of people found inoccent that have not been released back to their home countries and we KNOW what happened to prisoners down there!) 9th and 15th( how many voter supression laws are on the books right now? When there have been less than 20 cases nationally since 2000? Is this really a probelm that needs to be corrected by keeping 'minorities', students, elderly and other undeserables from voting because they might vote "for the other guy"?) 10th (if you need me to spell this one out for you, I just can't help you), 13th (we now have debters prisons being re-enacted in a round about way when local governments lease out their debt collection to private buisnesses. Then when the person still won't pay because guess what we're in a situation where the majority of the country is pour because of stagnation in wages since the 1980's, they go to jail! Then when they get out of jail they're expected to get a job and pay off their debt! With a criminal freaking record no less).

Don't believe me? Than please do some research. It's amazing what truth you can uncover on the internet. Just remember only use sites that use citations and check those citations out. Don't just assume they are fact because there's a citation on the site. Also listen to the "other side's" arguements. You'll be suprised by what you hear when you actually listen too not only what they say but why and how they say it.

One last thing before I go away, have you heard about Iceland in 2013? They had a revalution and threw their government out of office. They did what we (US citizens) threaten yearly "Throw the bums outta office!" and you'll be shocked when you learn why. When you learn WHY, ask yourself why the US media has said NOTHING about this peaceful revolt against thier elected officals. Once you start on rabbit holes like this, you quickly come to the realization that our media and government don't work for us, they work of Multi-National Corperation. Google plus (Not Google+) what corporation owns (pick a News network) is wonderful. Saudi's own the second largest share of Fox News who does Disney own, how about GE? It's amazing who owns what NEWS and how filtered it is for you consumption.

PS: If my tone has come across as offensive I am sorry, it's the limitations of the medium we are using to communicate with each other.
