I wholeheartedly agree with you and since coming to States in 2001 so many things changed that me and my family do not pursue US citizenship anymore (eventual benefits do not overweight all that comes in with "responsibilities" -- permanent residence 10 year card seem to be sufficient). Have you visit Europe lately? most EU countries lack police state. You won't get shoot for running cops over there - in fact, majority of cops don't have guns and somehow we don't get too many shooting on both sides either. Since most GMO is still banned, quality of food is like day and night. Spend week in Western Europe you will get your stomach fixed, no digestion problems, no sleep problems, clear mind, more energy, literally overnight. There is so many things right now broken with States and the rest of the world doesn't wait. Meanwhile European Union is doing many good things locally and people feel good changes (altho like any other country/entity it has its negative sides as well, of course) As of parent comment, we are not being monitored but recorded and there is big difference. As Obama said "nobody is listening to your phone conversations". Obviously it is impossible for any number of government employees to listen to 300MM people's daily conversations. It was about seizure/recording of said materials that's what is a Constitutional no-no.
