You were doing really well up until this post.
well .. why not .. you have 2 things going on. They have the equipment to do wire tapping/listen to your calls. Either you take it all away or let them use it.
If you let them have it they will/are gonna use it. So if you take it away you can't use it at all. Then we get blown up because they can't keep track of terrorist activity (because we all know they do stuff out in the open so they can get caught).
So .. with the mindset that they shouldn't do it at all .. you basically agree that they should just let the scum of the earth do whatever they want .. so long as you can do what you want in the process, so your rights aren't infringed.
I like to speed and can do so without injuring other people around me. I think getting a ticket for going 80 on the interstate infringes on my right to drive my car how I want to. I mean, the cars are made to go over 100.
Other people can't drive over 60 without causing a wreck. So they implement a 60-65 mph speed zone. I go over 60 I can get a ticket, even though I'm capable of driving over that easily. It's not fair .. but that's how it works. I get enough tickets .. my right to drive is taken away. The right given to me in the first place. I wasn't born with the right, it was given to me after I proved I was worthy .. same as all rights are IMO. If you don't act worthy of the rights .. they should be taken away again until you can prove you deserve them again (like criminals or terrorists).
They protect some from the dumb, even though it pisses some off.
I don't have a problem with it. If I'm not doing anything that will lead them to have suspicions of needing to listen in on my conversations .. they aren't gonna take the time to listen to what I'm saying.
It's not like they are just randomly listening to conversations across the world. Like they sit around and have time for that shit.
