figuring out why this secretive NSA program means that we no longer live in a country governed by our Constitution, that we are being governed by the clique that has access to our internet information. And I have posted about my opinion. If you knew me and saw me, you would understand why I feel free to do that. There is no way anyone could ever see me as a threat to anything, not at my age, not considering that I get along with pretty much everybody I know, that I have been told that I am very peaceful and even asked in a workplace whether I practice meditation.
So, there is no way I could ever on earth be a real terror suspect. And therefore I feel I am the last person the NSA could target. But I do have a logical mind. So I see the fundamental problem with the NSA surveillance system -- the concentration of extraordinary knowledge in the hands of a secret few.
Don't jump to conclusions. I don't think that the NSA broke my computer. But last night I started having problems with it. My virus protection program said I had a number of threats. I stayed up very late letting my virus protection program try to clean my computer. This morning I could only start it in safe mode and after quite a few machinations which involve following directions. I had to have some help for that.
The point is: what with all this surveillance, why can't the NSA stop the computer viruses and programs that break down individual computers and could break the system?
What are we paying for?
After last night, I am more certain than ever that the NSA program is not about protecting the internet or stopping copyright thieves or protecting the public. Because if it were, then we wouldn't have copyright thieves, and the public would be protected.
More than ever I think the program is about acquiring total knowledge of our relationships and therefore total control. And I think it is great that at least one company is willing to stand up for what is right.
