If you were to ask why I am a Canadian citizen, this is why. I can no longer stomach what we have become. I will take my chances in Canada until this nation is broken to pieces like a potter's vessel for her collective crimes. I dearly LOVE the Constitution and revere it like scripture - but despise where virtually all of this nation has descended to. I am in a constant state of mourning over this.
All nations will rejoice when we are hit this year - and will not be able to get back up. We are hated by most straight-thinking, good people. Our policies are out of control and put the "police" in "policy". We need to be brought to our knees and flushed down the toilet. What will rise out of the ashes will be good, but you cannot put new wine into old bottles.
Here is what got me spun up:
Old technology in NSA age: Typewriter sales surge in Germany

German typewriter makers such as Bandermann and Olympia have cited climbing sales amid NSA spying revelations.
"We sell about 10,000 [typewriters] every year," Bandermann manager Rolf Bonnen told The Local. "We’ve seen an increase because Brother left the market [in 2012],” he added. The company's sales jumped by one-third over last year since 2012.
Triumph Adler, which is part of Bandermann, began advertising its typewriters as 'Bug proof. NSA proof” in 2013 in order to attract more consumers.
Meanwhile, Olympia spokesperson Andreas Fostiropoulis told Wirtschaftswoche magazine that the company expects typewriter sales to hit a 20-year high in 2014. "We will certainly cross the 10,000 threshold," Fostiropoulis said. He added that he has had some orders from Russian partners.
German defense contractor Diehl switched from computers to typewriters last year.
"The Diehl Group relies on traditional typewriters for sensitive affairs," spokesman Michael Prymelski said.
Earlier in July, German politicians said they were considering going back to old-fashioned manual typewriters for confidential documents, in order to protect national secrets from American NSA spooks.
Patrick Sensburg, chair of the German parliament’s inquiry into alleged NSA spying, said committee members are considering new security measures and are seriously thinking about abandoning email and returning to old school typewriters.
“As a matter of fact, we already have [a typewriter], and it’s even a non-electronic typewriter,” he told ARD Morning Show on Monday.
