It's 1984 for real. I read Edward Snowdens biography a couple weeks ago and one thing that floors me is people's lackadaisical response to the gross violation of laws our government was violating.

I think people are afraid to stand up for there right to privacy, because they feel unpatriotic or that it may make them look like a criminal with something to hide.

I do belive with proper due process and warranting the government should be able to carry out covert surveillance of those suspected of MAJOR terrorism only. But who draws that line? And how do you trust them?
