Thanks for the advice. I agree, but it seems like this is easier to accomplish. Should we aim to stop a system which emanates from Obama on down, and which is already about to get a vote in the form of multiple bills restraining the NSA? Or

Up to 8 hours when there's construction on I-5, jams into your destination city, or when you're taking kids who need bathroom breaks.

Some data points: we had 5 video views. Rejected. Probably too old for YC. But we're doing well, so no biggie. We applied with Arro, http://arroapp.com - tells you which product to get by analyzing millions of ratings online.
