At the moment, I’m too angry about the NSA revelations to write a full-length post. It only gets worse the more you read. After I’ve had some time to calm down, I’ll assemble something more constructive and less seething-with-rage.
In the meantime, here’s the man who gave us the story – Edward Snowden – in his own words:
I’m somewhat in a similar place as you. I’m so angry at it that I haven’t really talked about it with anyone.
I’m simply furious that the government of the country that professes to be the “land of the free” is capable and willing to spy on it’s own citizens and the top officials of said government see nothing wrong with it.
The scope and abuses of the programs revealed are simply breathtaking. Whats more is that members of congress were briefed on these programs and signed off on them. I’m really at a loss for words.
Thank you. I’m glad you commented. Was starting to feel like nobody else gave a shit.
I think that the people that care and understand about what’s going on are so shocked right now that they are left speechless. It will take a couple weeks, when the full scope of these programs come to light for true reactions to surface.
I saw your post, Brian… and I responded, just not here.

I am angry and the willful disregard for American citizens and our Constitution. However, I’m far more angry at the Americans WHO DON’T FUCKING CARE.
