Idiocracy Now: The Sold Out $120 White T-Shirt by Kanye WestMelissa Melton Once upon a time, American founding father Benjamin Franklin said Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Over 200 years later in America, it was revealed our government was wholesale spying on the people. Instead of outrage and promises to immediately shut down these programs and hold anyone who violated the Constitution under them responsible, the presidents response to this revelation was, But I think its important to recognize that you cant have 100% security, and also then have 100% privacy, and zero inconvenience. Were gonna have to make some choices as a society. The American people were obviously not included in the we who were making these choices. Some Americans were so deeply concerned about this unconstitutional invasion of their privacy and rampant trampling on their Constitution and Bill of Rights, they rushed out to buy a $120 plain white T-shirt with absolutely nothing whatsoever on it designed by rap star Kanye West.
