In a way, the conspiracy theorists were right. 2012 will be the end of the world as we know it.
Not due to alien invasion, rapture, or natural disaster. But due to the greedy assholes who hold power over us.
The blatant bigotry, corruption, and hypocrisy within our government is beyond sickening. We are not a free country, we are a corporate-run police state who's leaders care more about money and power than the basic rights of their people.

With media corporations pushing for SOPA and PIPA, the NDAA, and the fact that the FBI has even extradited a UK citizen for 'copyright infringement'... It's only a matter of time.
Imagine if they actually went after everyone they caught stealing, instead of just picking a few to crucify in public view (I call it scare tactics). They have every right to do so and it's a fair legal system, it's just too easy to get away with things which leaves no incentive to stop. So I guess until someone steps up and finds a way to make profit from people who don't want to pay for things, the govt and corporations will scramble around and try silly things.
