All the government is asking for here is a continuation of the status quo. it's always had the ability to wiretap phones, but people don't use phones as much anymore - they use IM, Facebook, etc. to hatch their devious plots. Wiretapping -

That's an interesting way of thinking about it. But what does it mean? The fact that we consume 0.1% of the volume of the Grand Canyon in oil annually makes me think we're not using much oil in the grand scheme of things. But the "a large r
