Undoing? Far from trying to undo, as in the specific practice this thread was started over, he is actively advancing most of it. If you want to apply your analogy accurately, Obama is one of the Washington cocksuckers.

I'm no big Obama fan, don't get me wrong....but he did finally allow states the right to have medical pot facilities and stopped the DEA from raiding state approved and funded grow labs.

Prohibition is just one more way the Government strips freedom using propaganda that the masses eat up like Milky Way bars, so while you may not be dying of cancer or just don't like pot, it is still a large victory for people that are still capable of independent thinking, making their own decisions, and desire basic freedom. Is he going to undo 100 or however many years of evil and brainwashing in 4 years? No, probably not.

Giving the Federal Government the ability to instantly find out exactly where you've been, going back x amount of days into the past, is fucked up and will certainly lead to an increased police state atmosphere. But people not caring about it, or not thinking its a big deal, or saying "Meh, that's just the way it is"....that's what is really fucked up.

Don't you understand how governments work? It is all about control snappy. The government least is always the government best.

If you have the time and energy, you could list a couple of real world examples.

Agreed. If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem, especially if you're an elected official in the position to be part of the solution.

if it's not a cell phone it will be something else.

I'm more stunned by the number of people I know who are not aware of this than anything.

That the tracking of your GPS coordinates is not only constant, but stored indefinitely? It's the first I've heard, and I'm willing to bet 95% of people wouldn't have suspected it.

I think the worst so I'm not surprised when it happens.
