There’s no argument that NSA spying on the American people is wrong. For this organization to fully breach the 4th amendment is just outlandish and is a complete and utter insult to the supposed lines of trust between the government and its people. But, honestly the one thing that really got me was how they explained themselves declaring that the repeatedly violations were caused by "poor management, lack of involvement by compliance officials and lack of internal verification procedures, not by bad faith." This really disturbed me because if the government has already made the decision that it’s going to look what I’m posting, to whom I’m posting it to, and the topics of my searches I’d at very least want them to show enough competence not to screw it up. Which due to recent finds shows that they haven’t. Honestly, at this point there’s really nothing that can be done so all of us might as go back living the way we were. All the while knowing that when we post something on Facebook that we’re not only sharing it with friends and family but a couple hundred old dudes sitting in lazy boy computer chairs deciding whether it merits the title of an immediate national threat. You know thinking about this all kind of reminds me of of the Santa Claus jingle.
