No matter in what system or to what purpose: A monitored human being is not a free human being. ... A regime is ruling in the United States today that acts in totalitarian ways when it comes to its claim to total control. Soft totalitarianism is still totalitarianism.It's not just Obama, but he's been in office long enough that he owns this problem. Governments at all levels in this "free country" have a long track record of tracking and trying to make life difficult for dissidents and treating peaceful protest as terrorism.
UPDATE: Seems that a hell of a lot of the NSA's "inadvertent" breaches of privacy rules were pretty goddamned intentional. Like all scum-sucking politicians, the NSA released news of that on a Friday.
