We’ve posted those thoughts and plans on social media. And if we’ve followed through on our stupidest ideas and put them into idiotic action, then we’ve got a video on YouTube with a million views. Add our Social Media State to the Santa State and the Mommy State and we’ve already arrived at the Security-and-Surveillance State. We want everyone to know everything about us. (And take care of everything for us while they’re at it.) Even the most secretive terrorists can’t resist the opportunity to gurgle and coo – or bawl and wail – to attract attention. The Security-and-Surveillance State makes us feel like we’re the center of the universe again. It puts us back in the crib, without worry or responsibility. America used to need liberty and Fourth and fifth Amendment privacy. Now America needs diapers.
