Yes, it's reassuring that we're being spied on with readily available tools. Does this mean it's a good thing to have men in black looking through your windows and following you wherever you go? I mean if going low rent to troll through data isn't so bad why not boost employment and have a schmoe on every corner? Heck, some in congress proposed giving us a rebate check to help with our fuel bills--why not have an incentive program that gives us cash for every fellow citizen we turn in? The streets would be filled with low tech trolls. We'd become an ubermass of trolls, no one would be safe. Taking a crap in private would become a thing of the past. In fact, we'd all just leave our doors and shades open so as not to provoke the suspicion of our peers. Not only that, but we'd be using our phones to report terrorist activity so that the various phone companies who were aiding in the low pro snooping to begin with would now rake in mega bucks from all those calls from the patriotic. In no time the world would be so much safer, so much more open and honest. Eventually we'd realise the need for spying and war and greed, etc is asinine. We'd all realise the futility of the system as it had come to be and we'd yearn to rid our utopia of the vermin who created this monstrosity to begin with. The Evil would be exposed and it's power would dwindle to nothing more than the power of a scary story or an urban legend. Then we'd all just laugh and laugh at the thought that we ever let such bizarre, insane, paranoid creatures rule our lives. How droll it would seem, indeed, that we who are free to think our thoughts and live our lives should have ever allowed ourselves to think this system was ever meant to help us and not just feed the insanity of the powers that were. The Evil would prove to be it's own worst enemy. From corrupt, greedy, power mad monsters would arise the tools for their own demise. Indeed, it would be us who proved the most powerful net monitoring tool. Hah!

Then one day Santa Claus gave everyone the clap and we all got real sick and died.

The End.
