Frankly, I'd have to be high to accept a job in the intelligence community. I was recruited once in college, got a bad feeling and never regretted it for a second.
Democracies shouldn't have giant unaccountable spy orgs.
- imchillyb 3y ago> Democracies shouldn't have giant unaccountable spy orgs. All governments on the planet have giant unaccountable spy orgs. Why should a democracy forgo one of the most effective tools the world has ever seen? Accountability is a strange word to use with any government agency. Most government bodies are only accountable to themselves.

Same is true for office politics, market research, academic publishing, etc.; "publish or perish" -- you play the game or you're not an academic.

Individuals are generally accountable but it's going to look unaccountable when the nation also wants to do the things the spy org is doing.
