re: #163 dog philosopher

i’m not presenting facts, i am exactly giving an opinion

which is, i think the current intelligence gathering apparatus, which has been expanded from its former capability in the last ten years, could very well be subject to abuse in the future

if you can guarantee me that no future administration or person working in the nsa will ever abuse it, i would be pleased to hear it

but you can’t

Then allow me to inform you your opinion is utter and complete nonsense. Thousands of individuals across several agencies of government are dedicated to making sure the kind of abuse you are so worried about is found out and stopped, because it takes away from the mission these people are dedicated to serving. In every organization on Earth, there are going to be people who attempt to abuse their position and do a huge disservice to good people trying to make a real difference. Try actually living in the real world some time, and not your Greenwald induced paranoid conspiracy distopia.
