Mercy! Mercy! That Dang Nabed PERCY!

Who would believe?

The current controversy between the FBI and Apple over encryption and the latest version of I-phone, has everybody's hair on fire. My view is that what is on my I-phone is not the government's business. Once Apple creates a "back-door" it won't be long before everybody has the key.

After what happened at the Internal Revenue Service with the Lois Learner Scandal, I simply don't trust Government anymore. It used to be I respected the FBI as a bipartisan agency above politics. It will be interesting to see what they do regarding their recommendations to the Justice Department about Hillary Clinton's private email server. I suspect they will sweep it all under the rug until after the elections. What ever happened to J. Edgar Hoover?

If the price of keeping the government from snooping into our private lives is an occasional bomb going off, then so be it. A few years ago getting Apple to help would have been a "No Brainer." That was before the Obama Administration. His Regime sees the government bureaucracy as just another means to advance a liberal political agenda. The sad part is that there seems to be nobody left in Government, willing to stand up to him.

Since the Democrats came to power, the very word "Government" has become almost obscene. Our system has simply lost the trust and confidence of the people. These days a hick-up in the war on terror is suddenly a small price to pay for keeping the nose of Big Brother from getting any further under the tent.

Who would ever believe the day would come when we'd have to ask Apple to champion our Constitutional Rights? The whole notion is mind boggling.
