This is criminal beyond belief. The “Patriot Act” was a colossal mistake.The hero here is Edward Snowden who told us this was happening. It is encumbrance on us to insist that the Patriot act be massively curtailed with death penalty for violation. They have turned us into a fish bowl. Great corruption will intercede on our wishes to return to privacy. We must offset that with ferocious intensity. Our lives and property are at stake.
Snowden may not be a hero. Think about it. All he told us is what other whistleblowers have already told us, namely William Binney.
What if, he told us what we already knew so we would self-censor? It’s impossible to track and prosecute a hundred million people. But, what if most of those people haven’t been paying attention, and suddenly realize that everything they do online is monitored? Most will change their behavior or stop it altogether.
That’s what I think anyway.
...It is encumbrance on us to insist that the Patriot act...I don't agree that it is encumbrance. I do, however, believe it to be incumbent. ;)
Intensity is no substitute for Intelligence. And, often, work against intelligence. Your post for example.
