It's a long list.

And it's funny how most people didn't care when we knew that private companies were storing and tracking our personal internet communications (and to a much greater extent than the NSA) for use in advertising. But now that it's the NSA, we care.

And to justify our prior apathy we say to ourselves, "Well, private companies can't enforce Federal law like the NSA can." And that is correct, but in response I say this - not yet. Not yet, but likely soon.

We are witnessing the birth of our oligarchy, one day at a time, and at an exponential rate.
