Worth Reading: Trevor Pott's editorial on NSA PRISM and its real ramifications
Stoic Joker:
You just gotta love this bit from the Snowden interview:
Bathtub falls and police officers kill more Americans than terrorism, yet we've been asked to sacrifice our most sacred rights for fear of falling victim to it.

^ Getting a bit too political and such for outside of basement IMO. :-\
There's a whole thread for political jokes there. Two reasons to stay away from that. One, to keep focused. And two, it's not a party thing. Even if Romney had gotten elected, the same would be going on. See: the fact that this was started in 2006. I'm even cynical enough to believe that if a Libertarian was on the other side of this, the program would *still* be in place.

No doubt. I didn't mean to make it partisan, the GOP would no doubt have similar measures, although I think the way they'd try to frame the discussion would differ. But they'd sure as heck be doing it -- after all, it was GWB that got this round kicked off.
Like I said, this wasn't intended to be a GOP/DEM thing at all, but rather a "look how absurd the guy at the top is, trying to justify this nonsense with obvious double-talk". I would have said the same thing regardless of what party he came from.
