But, wouldn't it just be easier to put speakers in the other room and get on with your life?

Well, I guess maybe if you were in the room next door, and wanted to hear what was going on without the occupants knowing, you could use this method.

I get it now. Perfect for NSA spying ops.

The false premise is that Sysadmins are capable of "liking" someone.

Sysadmins hate everybody. It's the fourth law of quantum bogodynamics.

As long as they can get their weekly does of the Kardashians, Americans just don't give a shit about their freedoms anymore.

Fat, dumb, and happy. That's how the emperor of Rome did it, and that's how our government is doing it now.

El gato, el gato, el gato no es bueno

Except in this case, the government doesn't just come after you. They come after you and disappear you to a small beach community in Cuba called Guantanimo Bay, where you sit and rot without charges or even counsel for decades on end.

That's what happens when your government can't be bothered to follow its own laws.

Fuck Gillette, we're doing six quarks.

"The Seventh Guarantee is one of the most important rights granted by the Federation."

See what he did there? He planted the seed in the viewers' minds that rights are granted by government, and that they don't exist by the nature of human being.

We cannot allow ourselves to fall victim to that brand of thinking (and we are already doing it).

Government does not grant rights. Rights exist by the nature of being, and Government's one and only job is to protect those rights.

You are awfully naive.

In most common-law jurisdictions, you cannot "own" property outright. Where your deed is held fee-simple, you do not own the land at all. You merely own the right to improve upon it, generally by placing structures upon the surface of it, or to a depth reasonable, necessary, and blessed by your government overlords, as with a basement.

You don't own the land beneath the surface or any of the mineral content thereof.

You don't own the vegetation that grows in it, nor the right for your animals to eat it.

You don't own the water that falls on it, runs into it, or out of it.

You own nothing except a conceptual privilege to build your house on it, subject to the rules, regulations, and conditions set forth by your lords and their "zoning" rules.

Yes, it does. Americans are incapable of thinking outside the box and considering options not presented to them by their puppet masters.

I can believe that the government and NSA have been reading my email a lot more easily than I can believe that this guy is lying.
