at a wedding party recently, eg, and done on our name. I would say that 'might definitely have affected THEIR lives, well their very short lives, not to mention their loved ones left behind.

I'm sure they too live with their 'sex lives' but I doubt they consider someone looking at them, those mothers, to be a matter of great importance.

The NSA has affect MY life, personally. I was totally creeped out when I learned that every call I made was being 'collected' by some stranger I do not know and it gave me the same creepy feeling I had when a peeping tom was prowling our neighborhood, looking in windows, 'collecting data' I guess although at least in his case so far as we knew, he wasn't using it to target anyone with, as we know now the NSA HAS been doing.

As a woman I am far more creeped out and always was by the knowledge that a bunch of strangers who for all I know are weird, creepy or something else, because to even WANT a job like that you have to be more than a bit weird, than I am about some guy looking at me as I pass by. And to think it is the government doing this too, which makes people feel even more helpless.

Don't tell other people what affects their lives and what doesn't. You may be okay with peeping toms in your emails and on your phone, but a majority of people I know will not talk about things they thought they were free to discuss without some weirdo listening in. So yes it definitely DOES affect people's lives.

I could go on, but what a waste of energy on something that can and is so easily handled by people every day.
