How would you know what use the information is being put to?
- LLWM 12y agoYou don't. You elect people to represent you, they get told what use the information is being put to, and they make decisions accordingly.
- flycaliguy 12y agoWhat if they are lying to the officials? Or what if they have information on the officials? What if they don't have information on the officials but the officials have been convinced that they probably do?
- LLWM 12y agoWhat if the officials are mind-controlled by alien slugs? What if the NSA is actually a terminator skynet sent back from the future? There are lots of scenarios in which we're screwed and can't do anything about it. That's life.
- flycaliguy 12y agoI'm no expert on logical fallacies but I think your response here is one of them.
- LLWM 12y agoI am an expert, and it's not. How do you like them arguments from authority?

- spammyusername 12y agoThis is pure ignorance. No one who falls into the trap of thinking like this will ever contribute anything useful to society.
- LLWM 12y agoI would say that the statement easily disproven by a single counterexample is more ignorant, but suit yourself.
- rhino369 12y agoHow do you know what the military is being put to? Any government power can be misused. Foreign intelligence isn't particularly dangerous.
- spammyusername 12y agoForeign intelligence is used to interrogate/arrest/kill people. Only powers that are granted can be misused, we as citizens can take anything we want away from the government.
