Privacy Schmivacy

Isn't it ironic that when the planes took down the Twin Towers on 911, people wanted to blame the CIA for not connecting the dots that might have caught two of the terrorists involved? But now that the NSA got caught with their ear on the phone extension, at least digitally,  we are saying that they are doing too much. The NSA is not listening to actual conversations, but are actively looking for overseas calls or calls by known terrorists.

People scream for more privacy but more often than not, these people tell their life stories on Facebook or walk down the street with their cell phones having private conversations for all to hear. Some people even record their own attacks on innocent elderly women so their buddies can watch how "cool" these cowards are.

You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a video camera recording your bizarre cat-swinging behavior.  Privacy has become a myth.

This is a bipartisan issue and there are undoubtedly many mixed feelings about it, but what would the public say if, in fact, there is another large terrorist attack? Will they blame the secret organizations like the NSA and CIA who are here to protect us? 

Just saying. (I hate saying "just saying," but it felt right.)
