Hmmm, given my health issues, maybe that wasn't the best phrasing... 
But seriously, I have never once endorsed the Surveillance State. Not in 2001, not since, and not now.
The very nature of surveillance is based upon suspicion of those being spied upon. And that is far, far beyond unconstitutional.
I have bashed Snowden, but that does not translate into support for this uber-Orwellian nightmare that has grown up over the past decades.
I didn't realize until the other day that people thought I supported the spying program, and decided I'd best set the record straight.
Fuck Bush, the NSA, the "Patriot" Act, license-plate-scanning cop car cameras, and the rest of it. Fuck the lot of it with a rusty file.
