Actually, I’m glad that the NSA and others are out there doing their job. I’m sure they have found and thwarted more than one thing that would make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
Sure, a few of them are jerks, and you always have the bureaucracy, but many are the best and the brightest.
And I don’t give a rat’s azz if wallyworld or whatever knows that I might want to buy a chain saw. As long as they don’t call me directly, load my mailbox with trash, or fill my inbox.
Most people have a very exaggerated sense of their place in the world. But I can still respect their (false) belief that they live a private existence.
Most people overgeneralize too much.
