28. It is pretty obvious. Our children will not have privacy anywhere.

It's very sad. Those who are now ridiculing the concern of the rest of us will be the first to scream when they realize that they are caught in the spying web.

Who do you think benefits from this spying? Do you seriously think they are worried about whether some gun nut is going to shoot one of us in the mall today? In my opinion, your safety and mine is the last of their concerns.

If your and my safety were the concern, they would let us know they are spying. But that is not the purpose of this vast net of surveillance. Too much money is spent on it to allow me to think that is the purpose.

The purpose of all the investment in this spying apparatus is what should be the topic of conversation. This elaborate network of spying equipment is not being bought and paid for to keep you and me safe. That is the puzzle that the Snowden detractors should be trying to solve.

Personally, I think this surveillance network is about gaining total control over the economic and political management of the US, possibly the world.
