Steve Johnson

The US government has proven far too many times it cannot be trusted to protect the privacy of it's citizens. It blatantly circumvents laws to violate privacy rights. I believe in America, but if individuals don't stand their ground on inalienable rights, they will be lost. Power corrupts even the most well intentioned individuals. I don't see any hypocrisy here by Apple. If our government is not restored to a balanced, three divisional system soon, we are doomed. The Presidency has grown to an almost dictator like position, Congress has demonstrated that it is the rule to put it's members ahead of the American people, rather than the exception. Our Judicial system is no longer an independent entity but merely an extension of the ruling political parties agenda.
