We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission.

Gov't: you can not do encryption
You: why?
Gov't: you might be doing something bad

You: don't you work for me?
Gov't: yes, this is best for you
You: what else are you doing with my tax money?

Gov't: none of your business
