It would be wonderful to live in a world where we don't even have to think about things like this.... What's that John Lennon song? "You may say I'm a dreamer.."

Except Apple isn't entitled to theirs?

American soldiers don't swear an oath to protect the government, they swear an oath to defend the constitution. And men don't fight for their government, they fight for their families and their way of life. Yet you keep going back to supporting the government in all your arguments, as if the government is all knowing and infallible.

The founding fathers, who invented the US government, didn't trust the government. The Bill of Rights was adopted for that very reason. In your arguments, you are willing to subjugate all that is intrinsically American to a government that from its very origin could not be trusted not to oppress the people. A government that Snowden showed was in fact abusing its privilege and spying on Americans.

You may continue to side with the bureaucrats at the FBI who seek to intervene in every aspect of American life. I will continue to side with Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and the founding fathers who defined what it is to be an American. We agree to disagree
