I feel you; I talk about it quite a bit because it is of interest, and well it affects us all. I even tried to get my sister to read the book "Data and Goliath" by Peter Schneier and she only read about 5 pages book marked it and had it sitting for a month. . .it is futile; Once I got an unusual call about someone being in jail. . .etc etc. I was concerned it may be a friend; anyways the call did not go through and I was running a reverse lookup on the tel-#. Well, two buddies of mine were there with me and one of them remarked "yeah, aren't you like paranoid that the government is spying on you" I looked at him furiously because this person I call my buddy just made a stupid stupid comment. Stupid comment because he obviously misinterpreted my previous conversations about NSA spying into me being personally paranoid about government spying on me; it is not about government spying on me it is about government spying on the people! and most people are plain ignorant and careless! it is unfortunate! they need an 8th grade level NY-Times paper to tell them their news. . .yes that is an ad-hominin. “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence—it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action” (Washington 6)
