Don't say that kind of thing about people who are trying to help you, however misguided you think they are . . . what's your plan for finding terrorists and schemers in this day in age? The fundamental problem with calling ourselves free citizens, and letting that define us at face value is that there is no accountability for those that would enjoy our liberties only to actively try to subvert them. The people of which I speak are not the people that are trying to devise ways of separating the real free people from the ones with designs of our ultimate downfall. I contest that as long as freedom of action holds strong in our nation, we are free. No matter how much data hijacking takes place, "we are free until proven impaired", if you will. Now I'm not suggesting that we ignore the "Big Brother" debate as if it's inevitable. But if someone looks at a love letter you wrote, reads it, and passes it by because it isn't a terrorist plot, how does it infringe upon your freedom? Rights? Maybe . . . that's a different discussion entirely. But don't you dare insinuate that honest people at the NSA have a voyeuristic fetish knowing every detail about your life. They don't give a rats ass about you the way you are. Now on the other hand, if you start conversing with someone about how you think the radical Muslims doing a good thing and show an interest in helping them, I hope with all my heart they track you down and find out why you wrote that. Of course I say all of that in more or less the fourth person . . . I wouldn't dare insinuate that a patriot like you would ever do such a thing . . . pfft, humbug.
