Grable,

In case you haven't thought about this, nearly all of
our technological advancements in the past 30 or 40 years (computers, internet, GPS, cell phones, robots, stealth, teflon, kevlar, i.e. all things cool) have been developed with military uses being the primary
incentive. Why? Because the governments are the ones with the money, and can afford to fund the research and the large contracts. If it weren't for the various militaries around the world, our technology
would be nowhere near what it is today.So yes, the government is probably spying on you with all their different types of crazy gadgets, and yes, they do have the ability to launch a missle from hundreds of miles away and land it within 3 feet of a moving target (i.e. you), but don't worry about that. It's been this way for years, and there's no turning back, so sit back and enjoy the side-effects of military advancements like the internet and personal teleportation (soon to come I bet).
