With all this news about governments "spying" on people and this whole "1984" paranoia going on; does anyone really pay attention to reality anymore?
I ask you the first question: Does the government really care about your personal emails?
Answer: No. Unless you're a terrorist and/or a criminal.
Second Question: Does the government want to steal your banking information?
Answer: No. Why would they care about your petty money when they have alot more money to spend than you?
Third Question: Does the government care about your personal life?
Answer: Unless your life involves illegal activity, then no. Contrary to popular belief, politicians have lives as well.
Final Statement: Americans have an odd perception on freedom and privacy. They demand that their lives be privatized yet they have no qualm about posting their half naked bodies on public domains such as Facebook or Twitter. Personally, I feel that there needs to be some sort of monitoring system in place to help stop criminal activity in a place that alot of people like to call "free domain". Help to catch the child porn distributors, organized crime syndicates, etc etc; people that are a stain to our society. Now, my irony behind this idea also calls for the dismissal of things such as piracy so that people can freely pirate stuff as they please, as study after study prove that it actually works . Of course, in an open market capitalist system; that will never happen.
I really do hope that the US will get a grip of itself over these whistleblowers, as they are over-reacting over something that has no real significance anymore. As far as this "PRISM" thing, don't worry about it (unless you're a criminal)
