A controversial bill handing President Obama power over privately owned computer systems during a "national cyberemergency," and prohibiting any review by the court system, will return this year.
I remember when there was no internet and Dick Tracy was the only one with a cell phone.

It all depends on 'whose ox is being gored'; e.g., how did the United States get its beginnings and ultimately come into existence? A very few other examples of past "savages" loose in the United States:

* The Boston Tea Party
* The Labor movement
* The Suffrage movement
* The Temperance Movement
* The Sand Creek and Wounded Knee Massacres
* The Mountain Meadows Massacre
* The WW I Bonus Army
* The Civil Rights movement

The list goes on and on and on. "...the times, they are a' changin'....".

PS:

(Little Big Horn was omitted because Custer was long overdue. it's too bad he took so many good men and horses with him)
