Caveat Emptor: Your Government, Cellphones, and Onstar

Your government spies on you. We all basically understand this.
"Republican" president George W. Bush supercharged domestic spying by slamming the Patriot Act through Congress in the wake of the "9/11," and a significant proportion of the American population nodded in approval with blank stares, glossy eyes, and no real information.  
Corporate mass media aided in facilitation.
Since then, Constitutional-civil rights outcry has risen to a crescendo in the free media, and "Liberal" president Barack H. Obama has extended the international worldwide war campaign and domestic police state accredited to the Bush regime.
When dark-skinned men, women, and children are killed in countries halfway around the world, most Americans aren't directly affected and frankly, don't care. They are largely content with their daily pursuits of work and play. But when Americans learn that their personal information is being recorded, categorically organized, stored, and used against them for profit or legal action, some do care!
