11. Cuz It Sucks

If it was real reform they would oppose it. NSA is used for two purposes. First is the drug war...monitoring pot growers and hippies phones as well as ravers, music promoters, coke dealers etc. The next is to gain leverage with embarrassing or criminal details about the lives of politicians, journalists, lawyers, judges and generals to make them do what the USSA Junta wants them to. The sooner you accept this reality and stop dithering around the edges of consensus reality the better off your world view and hence your life will be. Ask Russ Tice, NSA whistleblower preceding Snowden...he laid it all out...it was NEVER about terrorism...that's just a line they feed the sheep.
