This site has some good info on some bad gov't activity, of which I don't
think most are aware.
I borrowed this Mencken quotation from the site:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Freedom Quote
“I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have
invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years.
I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the
former is dangerous and the latter safe.
I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air –
that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false
progress, and of no permanent value.
I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is
bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in
however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave.”
