#2Thanks for the reminder. I almost forgot.

#3The whole "pizza case" phenomenon is hilarious. ironic but hilarious.
I'm sure there are tons of ethical implications, and the NSA has its share of shady activities, but part of it seems to be akin to that final scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark when the government loses the powerful, dangerous artifact in some nameless Army warehouse filled with tons of beef jerky or whatever it was.

#4I'm glad someone posted this. My immediate thought after reading the breaking news about the massive phone surveillance was, "wait, did people not think this was happening?" I'm really not a conspiracy nut, but that Wired article and the NYTimes reporting made it pretty clear that the Gov't is pretty much collecting everything they can get their hands on.
Glad to finally see some outrage though.
Legitimate question: what's new about what is breaking in the news right now? Merely confirmation that the NSA is conducting indiscriminate phone-taps?

the pizza case thing reminds me of the scene in Arrested Development "Nope... you're looking at balls"

#6Sometimes I wonder what I'd have to write online to get a knock on the door.
Then I remember I still want to visit the US some time. It pretty much kills all the best ideas.

Exactly! I was wondering the same thing.

#8The worst thing is that people will talk about all this for a few days and then go back to living their lives. I hope I am wrong though.

#10I've always wondered, as a Canadian whose communications are most assuredly intercepted by the US gov., why such spying is not considered an act of war?
If I go to the US and "physically" spy, I'll get prosecuted, won't I?
To be clear: I don't want to go to war.
