To prove your self? To add validity to your hair brained attitude
about the FCC? To prove that you are a man? Many other reasons, but
you'll blow them all off, as usual.

"B" does not follow from "A". Just because it would be completely
improper for the CIA to act within the country, doesn't mean they don't do
it. It still doesn't really help the theory about it being an indication
of where the CIA is at work though.

That comes under the heading of "well duh". A great deal of what the CIA
does in other countries is illegal. That is in the very nature of spying.

We don't even really know if the CIA is an actual spy agency. They may
just be a distraction from the real one. In the past, their building was
labeled "Department of Roads". When they got their shiny new building and
all those nice signs saying "Reserved for Spys", could be when they
stopped being real.

That need not follow. Happy people will learn to do things they enjoy
doing. For some of them, they will discover that someone is willing to
pay them a great deal for doing what they enjoy.

I see no mension of "public resource" in the constitution. For that
matter, the word "resource" does not appear at all in it.

Yes, but then you say a lot of things. :)
