There is a word, it starts with an r and rymes with evolution.

I better not say more for fear the secret government thugs are reading this. In fact, they more than likely are.

I never could have dreamed that our beloved country would come to this!
We really need to come together and stand united to take back the privacy and freedom that the government has taken away.

The government is not interested in spying on Aunt Mabel feeding her cat.

The government is interested in spying on political opponents of the party in power or anyone who voices opposition to government policies.

Which is the same goal dictators have had throughout history.

The terrists hate us for our "freedom", so if we destroy our freedom and liberty maybe the terrists won't hate us anymore, right Bushtards?
Have the terrists won yet?

Spy satellites do not rely on photographs. They have advanced technology that can "see" through most anything.

If a spy satellite is "watching" you, nothing you do will be private. And, with a little help from computers, the imagery can be converted into a "picture" of you.

If you think hiding inside your house or a building will defeat a spy satellite, I suggest you think again.

Wow, what next? I am all for watching our enemies, and terriosts to keep our country safe. ----But---- this is just a start to run and control each and everyone of us. Our so called goverment now days think they , no let me refrase that, they KNOW they can do whatever they want to do to us. And none is gonna stand up and say enough is enough.
When are WE THE PEOPLE gonna do something about all the *** there doing and handing us. Have we really already laid down, and given up? Come on people. It does NOT take the rich only to do what should have been done many years ago. Take back our beloved home. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. When are we gonna say we have had it. When are WE gonna do something? We better NOT wait to much longer.
Look where OUR jobs are. Look at the MESS our beautiful Counrty is in. Jobs, economy, Health insurance, taxes, and on, and on and on and on.
WHY are we makling other counties rich, and letting ours go in the gutter? WHY, WHY, WHY???

Very clever insult by the way "UnderMyBoot", but on to a bit of commentary. I understand your passion, I do. Do you think I like the idea of having my every move watched by the government? hardly...get off your high horse. I'm trying to be rational here. The fact of the matter is this; our every move will not be watched, and just because our society is investigated using the most sophisticated techs. to search out terrorist sympathizers doesn't mean our liberties and rights are being trampled. How so? What exactly are you losing your right to do? My views on this administration are in line with the rest of the 70% or so of the country in agreement that this administration is destroying the American ideal. Maybe you're right. Perhaps we shouldn't allow for such programs. But having lost a 8 of my very best friends and 1 immediate family member on 9/11, I'm inclined to give most any preventative measure at least a chance to perform according to specifications. If it is shown that this program is being used to subvert a particular political party, or incriminate the innocent...I'll be the first to hop on your band wagon. however, if it gives us the oppotunity to uncover a weapons cache otherwise unvisible from the ground, or track a known terrorist sympathizer so as to catch up with his friends...awesome, and at least I know about it.
This is a touchy situation indeed...perhaps I'm too much the optomist.

Maybe one of those Privacy groups could get the local police department to stop flying their helicopter. I don't like the police being able to watch me from overhead.

You know they'll only hire low-wage schmucks to run the cameras and all they will be trying to zoom in on is pretty girls in various stages of undress. LOL
