The Internet Chickens Came Home To Roost

Yesterday our government claimed that it had been hacked by China:

But almost every day we hear of new ways that our government is spying on everyone:

Our government (specifically DARPA) invented the Internet. Anyone could have predicted that not only would it NOT be secure, but its existence would open up new avenues and forms of criminality in just about every aspect of our lives.

Stupid is as stupid does.
