It disgusts me all the more because I have a German friend who is trying to immigrate here legally, and if/when he does, he will be a VALUABLE addition to America and to the ranks of limited government Conservative Christians.
When I see people here so cavalierly, almost gleefully, and on 100 percent FALSE premises, insulting what appeared to me to be a pretty insightful German FReeper, it just gets my goat because it is so very destructive and ... well, disgusting. Really, really, disgusting.

I think we have valid reasons to have an aversion to the words,’ “data collection”, given the current administration’s collection of data on its citizen for nefarious uses and Snowden’s revelations.
