First they came for the Whistleblowers, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Whistleblower.
Then they came for the Boing Boing Readers, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Boing Boing Reader.
Then they came for the Linux Users, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Linux User.
Then they came for people who mocked the NSA, and I did not speak out— Because I was not mocking the NSA.
Then they came for the Jews (they always eventually come for the Jews even when Jews think they are mainstream), and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me— and there was no one left to speak for me.

#5The Snowden documents revealed that Germans visiting the Tor project website would be subject to permanent NSA surveillance. Does that make you more or less likely to click the link below? If the answer is "less likely", how does it feel to be intimidated out of your free expression?

As an American, I don't think there's a way to stop this through the democratic process: If a whistle blower publishes details showing the government is running "Project X", and we "kick the bastards out" that authorized it via the ballot process, and the government shuts down "Project X" as a result, all the NSA needs to do is rename it "Project Y".
I'm seriously at a loss as to what to do about this problem.
