swampson: @extremedash Also, living here in the great USA still doesn't guarantee that you'll be completely free forever. Nothing can do that. To think that just because you reside in a nation that boasts "home of the free" means you'll never have to worry about your rights is ludicrous to say the least. That's just a false-sense of security.

swampson: @extremedash I mean come on. If you need evidence of how cruel and selfish corporations can be, just look at the last few years. The BP oil spill is a great example as well as the big debacle on Wall Street.

swampson: @extremedash You should always worry about your rights. Did you forget about the Patriot Act? Just following the stream of worker ants and playing "good-child" your whole life in hopes that your rights will be protected because of it is nonsensical to say the least. Sony itself probably won't be doing anything to harm our rights because they're a tech company, but other corporations will and have in the past.

swampson: @philosodash But there's no way to link that back to anyone. That's the issue. There's no way to link ANY threats with any of the hackers. That said, mainstream media is the last place I'd go for coverage on anything Internet or Tech.

swampson: @extremedash Please, tell me you're joking. You should ALWAYS fight to protect your rights, even if you aren't doing anything "wrong". Also, the government bends over backwards for corporations constantly. Do you have any idea how many bills get shot down because of behind-the-door money exchanges?
