If it weren't a spy agency, but named something else, would it still be okay that they're engaged in highly illegal activities? Like, we can't murder people. But they can. We can't listen in to anyones conversation. But they can. We can't inject packets that make Daddy look like a child pornographer. But THEY can. So what makes them so different, since they derive their powers from the state, which is formed on the basis of every citizens' participation in the state agency? Why is it acceptable that we formulate society on the basis of the rule of law, except for a (not-insignificant) percentage of that society is allowed to repeatedly, violently, and without repercussion, violate those laws? Is it not clear to those who support the military-industrial state, that they are allowing the very conditions that the military is supposed to prevent: namely, the creation of a super-class of humanity who have rights and privileges not granted to the majority? How anyone can justify this state of affairs as 'normal' or 'acceptable' in this day and age of Civics Classes (do they still teach that?) I just don't understand. It is entirely not acceptable, on the basis of crimes against humanity, to in any way support the activities of the US Military-Industrial complex. It is the most dire threat to the human species that we have allowed this Super-class of uber-mensch to allow themselves the powers they have granted. |

>So what makes them so different
They are the government. Dont agree with it but they have already determined they are legally different.
Nixon Quote: "Oh, when the President does it, that means that it is not illegal"
>namely, the creation of a super-class of humanity who have rights and privileges not granted to the majority?
Expand on this.
