(57,936 posts)OK. Confession. I know a young woman who is the gentlest, kindest most wonderful human being. She chose a profession in which she devotes her life to helping others. You couldn't wish for a more wonderful person.
But she loves chemistry, and when the internet was pretty new and she was in school, she looked up the Anarchists Cookbook. I don't know what is in that book, but she was curious.
I would hate to have her life ruined because of her love of chemistry and where it lead her. The fact is that with the NSA's system the government has a record even though it probably doesn't check that record frequently, of every little goofball, silly, or rebellious thing that the kids now growing up do on the internet or the phone or in some electronic way. That is a horrible fact.
And that is true of all of us.
But one consolation for those who are married and fear their spouses might "cheat." The NSA is tracking all the phone calls. If your spouse or significant is cheating on you, at least someone knows for sure.
Soi, guys and gals, whether you like it or not, whether they are interested in it or not, the NSA is keeping tabs on your love life, on your internet sex life, on your online shopping habits and they know all, all, all your little secrets.
So you better watch out, you better not pout, cause the NSA might tell Santa (or your husband or wife). Be careful.
But at least the NSA spying on us might save some marriages. So I guess that's a good thing.
