Spying is inherently wrong and in my own naive view of the world I really don't see this as a bad thing. The real "boogieman" in our national nightmare is not in the closet or down the hall but under the bed.
Christ what a load of rank propaganda that first bit about the U-2 was. I'm sorry that I ever thought the U.S. held the moral high ground, or that the news media (of which I was a paid participant for a decade) was neutral and objective. The U.S. might have not been as directly, officially destructive of its own citizens as the USSR was, but America was certainly saturated in slime in its own ways. Fcuk em all.
A few years later, the "missile gap" was the hot topic for the coming election. Claims that the Soviets enjoyed a huge lead in the number of deliverable nukes over the U.S. Years later, it would come out that there were more nukes in one county (Clinton County New York) than in the whole of the U.S.S.R at the time. Of course, both sides knew these facts as the "gap" was being publicly debated during the campaign...(not to mention the missiles we had in Turkey)..but Kruschev was the "crazy" one.
I hate all of these, yes I get checking your kid’s internet history once in a while, but the rest of these are utterly insane and would be considered stalking in any other case. I especially “love” #9, “… emit an ear piercing sound if they’re driving too fast…” Yes, because when I’m driving 20 over, a shockingly loud shriek will help me keep my attention on the road..

Ah. Eisenhower. Khruschev. Those happy-go-lucky days of the Cold War.
