Frontline NSA
Did anyone else see the first Frontline episode on the NSA last night? Very good but very disturbing. Second episode next Tuesday.

I watched a little and changed the station. Too depressing. Government out of control (am I channeling one of our right leaning members here?)

It is depressing.

It's not depressing. Depressing is a death in the family or a sick dog. It's f**king enraging.

It is enraging, but the powerlessness of the decent people who opposed it is the depressing part. The other depressing part is how an illegal policy, even once exposed, can have a momentum which is extremely difficult to stop once people start using it to achieve their aims. I wonder how the next episode will deal with Snowden.

Could a country like that shoot down an airliner and cover it up or be complicit in an attack on the WTC?

Ron Paul has warned about this for years, but no one was listening. Too late now, that genie is out of the bottle.

Hé? Barack wasn't president then, you think it was him and his community activist buddies that set this thing up?

Recently I flew into and out of Tipton Airport, MD, which turns out to be across the street from NSA. Never saw so many antennae.

No, a bunch of Hollywood fringe progressives commanded by Alec Baldwin and Roxanne Barr.
