I agree completely but the world doesn’t see my way of thinking on much of anything.
We live in a completely different society…not one to my liking. It sounds so “American” to side with the FBI, we want to catch the bad guys….the Gates video I watched, he wanted to make it clear he did not side with the FBI, that was taken out of context but he felt we owe ourselves protection from some nuclear, biological, or other means of mass destruction if those folks can be traced with our phones. I watch the count hourly on the “We The People”, it was running about 200 per hour and that has greatly slowed to less than a hundred in two hours. There is no way they’ll meet the 100,000 by the March deadline.. UGH! John > On Feb 23, 2016, at 4:08 PM, Jonathan Fletcher <[email protected]> wrote: > > Again, where will it stop?
