Pure truth right there...

The ignorance in this thread is amusing... Some of you people are just sad to be able to give your freedom up with no questions asked... Just wow.

What about groups that form in opposition to whoever sits in power. Do you want them wire tapped???

I'm just so sick and disgusted of Americans who don't know why we have privacy laws, why they are so fundamental to our form of Government.

You people should be made to move to a third World country where everybody's life is open to Government snooping.
Are you equally concerned with abuse of the 2nd amendment?

4. So don't belong to an activist group; problem solved.
5. See 1-3. Nothing to hide here. How about you?
I don't agree with this. On the surface, it seems like if you're a "good little conformist and do everything that a good sheep is supposed to do, you'll be just fine"; however, I think that this is something that is should be of concern to all of us. For those that haven't seen the movie, "V for Vendetta" - I recommend it. It has striking parallels to what is going on today in the U.S.
