In the interest of saving precious bandwidth [View all]

To those of you who are posting 1000-word pleadings larded down with links, embedded videos, and what have you, all in an effort to justify in 2013 what no one would accept in 2006:

Cut it out.

No one who actually values their civil liberties and privacy is going to click on the 50th YouTube video that either makes some
arcane point, or attempts to justify what it going on now with "well, the other guy did it."

"But he did it too" is actually one of the antitheses of a well-functioning system of jurisprudence.

So save your fingers. Maybe instead of that, text a few love notes to your masters at the NSA. They may not respond, but they will be watching.
