the only part of this i disagree with is the manufactured chaos implication. there's simply no proof that this is a by design plan created by the leaders of some SPECTRE sort of outfit.
the plain and simple fact is that most all of us live in a society with rules that are in place to create a more harmonious society for everyone. sometimes those rules get bent out of shape, like a 55 mph speed limit or a tsa policy to xray pilots. just like government's answer for a fucked up government is more government<-- that's not by design
it's not an evil plot orchestrated at the highest level. it's fucked up bureacrats
