FOR THOSE WHO TRUST GOVERNMENT

Wednesday, January 12, 2005

One failure of individuals who have blind faith and trust in the government is their failure to recognize that government is made up of people--often fallible people. For example, if you knew your personal information could be stolen and sold to people who could use it against you would you offer it up so freely? We do so to the government without thought, and blindly trust it to keep it safe. Not only that, but we ENCOURAGE and support the government in this. How naive can we be? Before you put your faith and trust in something as corrupt as our government, consider this. I have a chronically ill friend who has had his prescription drugs stolen(twice) from his luggage on airline flights. It was undoubtedly stolen by a government employee...Just like in this article: http://www.kxly.com/common/getstory_41690.asp

Good point. We have 8000 years of civilized history. And with precious little exception, government has screwed over its citizenry.

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".

Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.

Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.

In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
