   Nobody on the internet is NSA-free as they're siphoning photons off the fiber optic cables. I choose to give my support to those fighting tooth and nail against the surveillance, and right now the evidence points towards Yahoo doing th

   I agree wholeheartedly, and, in fact, this idea is becoming mainstream among both psychologists as well as regular people. Neurologically it works almost identically to any other physical addiction with much the same results. More informati

   Indeed, I think you're right. So far, the only justification we have in support of these programs is to protect from terrorism. If it can be shown that they were used to subvert democracy, there would be zero support left for them.

    I don't mean to offend you, nor was it my intention to insinuate that you've been brainwashed, which implies malice, but rather inadvertently indoctrinated, through nobody's fault, to take the "you can do anything you wa
