I shouldn't feel that way but I do.
I get why governments do things like that, but sometimes it's better not to know. Deep down I really am an optimist and believing that my government could do something like that just crushes my belief in my country, the constitution and the ideals I always believed we stood for. I do believe that the NSA has lost it's way. I can only imagine what the overwhelming paranoia that must be pervasive in its employees is like. Maybe Enemy of the State was more realistic than I thought.
I've had people say this is just the beginning too...
