I Am Beyond Sick/Tired Of Being Called An "Authoritarian NSA Apologist".

145. We are deliberately examining it and fixing it.

I love the expression, "hair on fire." For me, it expresses the frustration of people who cannot express their emotions effectively in the face of people who can.

Good writers can express their emotions and affect the feelings of others. If you want to call it "hair on fire," be my guest.

I prefer to have my "hair on fire" to becoming a frog slowly brought to boil in water.

The government has done and is doing something wrong by collecting the metadata of Americans.

I have to assume, as one who speaks and reads foreign languages, that every time I access the website of a foreign newspaper, the surveillance state observes my reading habits. i do not like that at all.

People who do not read or understand foreign languages, people who have traveled only as tourists and do not have friends and family in foreign countries may not understand how people feel who do.

I want to have the freedom on the internet to read any website I want and learn about anything I want without being placed under surveillance by idiots in our government with not a modicum of my education or understanding. Is that too much to ask?
