You are standing up for liberties and constitutional rights. And you can't have it both ways.
It's a good test for anyone against NSA collection:
If NSA proves that the data did stop terrorist attacks, will it be ok to intrude privacy then or put it another way are you ok with a terrorist attack on your country in exchange for your privacy ?
- bobsoap 13y agoThere are so many things wrong with your comment, I don't even know where to start. I think you might either be 8 years old, or simply trolling. Based on that, I don't see any reason to invest any time and energy into replying factually. Instead, I'll resort to just shaking my head, rolling my eyes and moving on, trusting that nature will take care of itself. Yeah, I'm cool like that.
