If the topic is about the policy of "Prism", then the politics can't be avoid.................Sorry edited more stuff onto post so you might have missed something. I agree to certain extent it is about the policy just weary of people with political agenda will miss lead people from the real issue at hand. Not saying you were. My hope was just getting the information out there. I know this isn't the place people come for news but the more places this can be shown the better.

It is simple....downsize government and we will have more freedom and liberty.
Big tech business doesn't believe in privacy and most citizens understand it.........if the current trend continues, business and government will overtake our individual freedom and liberty, and with that goes privacy. Originally Posted by Whirlaway

This type of blanket data collection by the government strikes at bedrock American values of freedom and privacy. This dragnet surveillance violates the First and Fourth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, which protect citizens’ right to speak and associate anonymously and guard against unreasonable searches and seizures that protect their right to privacy."For whatever you may feel it's worth "The letter was accompanied by the launch of StopWatching.us, a global petition calling on Congress to provide a public accounting of the United States' domestic spying capabilities and to bring an end to illegal surveillance."
If your a Republican or Democrat you all should very happy. It was your parties both of them that voted to create the NSA and the surveillance state, you hide behind things like the "Patriot Act" which is totally unpatriotic. You all voted for the war in Iraq before you voted against it, you all believed the lies about WMD, you all enjoy getting molested at the airport by the TSA when it has been proven the TSA hasn't stopped one terrorist. It is okay to have illegal prisons in Gitmo and to kill Americans without a trial because you call them terrorist, they maybe be terrorist but the terrorist win when we give up our freedoms to stop them.I support you in whatever constitutional rights you may practice in order to right the ship, but please do not introduce political mantra into this thread for all the reasons mentioned before.
We have news stories about China and it's great firewall, while in the USA we just secretly record everything, we talk about prisoners in other countries but we lock up more people than any place in the world because our thought police don't like their morality. Enough is enough, sick of the Democraps and Republicons vote Libertarian everyone. Originally Posted by jf2good
