What i find funny about the whole situation is just simply the irony. People that support limitting freedoms such as privacy, are the same people that same people in support of giving "freedom" to other countries.
Why should you care about your privacy??? I'll give you a very valid reason why. Lets use the example of the internet for example. I'm going to make the assumption that the vast majority of newschoolers participate in some sort of illegal file sharing. Under certain legislation currently in use, the federal government can seize you computer without any warrent what so ever in the name of "Homeland Security". Thus it would be very possible for them to see your entire 20,000 song itunes library of stolen music. Whether you get busted, and turned into the Recording Industry of America, is to their discretion. But slowly and surely if we keep allowing the government to remove the freedoms we have, they will keep taking everything they can get their hands on. As a society we are like sheep. We follow the easiest path blindly and with no regard to anything else. If the government says "bark" the majority of our country does it without thinking twice. I am a firm believer that we are beginning to be taken advantage of. It's time that we start getting a little defensive, and let have a back bone.
