I am more worried about browsing Reddit, and steganography has put that horrible things into it, so I am looking at a picture of a tree and something horrible is in it. Seriously, imagine a tree being 'bound' to evil.

A high school friend Bruce told me about that and I flipped the fuck out. That guy told me that and I went what the fuck is wrong with people. I want to browse a decent godddamn internet. It should have stayed Arpanet considering the users. Military technology should be used by the military alone in my opinion.

The US government isn't that fucked up. Cops just sprinkle crack on people.

Well, as it is worth remembering, we killed 286,000 (mostly innocent) people in 3 days to win a war...

I wouldn't blame cops - I'd blame the FBI. If they planted it, and said you had it because they investigate that kind of thing (and they have tons of examples for material), you're screwed. Very convenient way to silence a dissident and silence the supporters... (not saying they have but in the future...)

I've literally had a cop plant drugs on me, and one of my hometowns recently had a big bombshell where a bunch of cops were indicted for doing the same thing, so I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.
