if the nsa did not have such overreaching programs to spy on people they shouldn't be then they would also have a lot less problems. Instead of curtaining nsa programs they will just plow on do some hand waving that everything is ok.

I'd take the government managing healthcare (and they are doing it fairly well and better than the private sector for Medicaid) than a private health insurance company death panel deciding it is too costly to keep me alive. And that is happening to people today for relatively reasonable cancer and other treatments.

they don't appear to be very good at typing though

IMHO it is another example of a mentally ill person that did not get the help he needed. Budgets for mental health programs have been slashed for decades and are less than bare bones in favor for useless programs like the tsa.

they are not adding any actual security and then they will all be perfectly safe

if you were really worried about that you would be pressuring state and local governments to stop throwing your tax dollars away subsidizing rich companies that don't need it.

or private companies see a payday and are lobbying those countries, trying to screw those taxpayers

big government playbook step 1. Try to make the story about the messenger instead of the [insert craptastic story here]

you do realize trying to make the story about the whistleblower is the first thing organizations like the nsa do, right?

They had their chance to take care of me as a paying Customer. At this point, no matter what at&t or time warner do at this point I will dump them the first opportunity to get Google Fiber.

US citizens outraged their Constititional Rights are being trampled on enough to end nsa spying on them? Nope. Mega corporations losing revenue because of nsa spying? That nsa spying needs to end immediately.

they are still scared of the American Public and these spying programs need to be dismantled.

I wonder how feinstein and chambliss would feel about wearing an always on camera that everyone could watch 24/7? I still would have no confidence in them or the nsa spying though.

FTL is pretty fun, but from what I have seen from the development blogs I am really anticipating Wasteland 2 and Project Eternity.

to each his own. I hated most of the titles you highlighted you like as bland derivatives and am really looking forward to many of the Kickstarter games and like the constant stream of info on development. I also like that with Kickstarter you can influence what types of games get made and support freeing Game Designers from companies only interested in the lowest common denominator for a marginal return instead of focusing on making a great game.
