No, lets not deviate. HM, specifically what has happened DIRECTLY to you where you have lost a right? Anything. Come on, your rights are so under attack, describe your personal loss.

That's silly. It's like asking you "what terrorism has specifically happened to you, that you're willing to give up these rights?"

Same for you SPEX, specifically what has happened DIRECTLY to you where you have lost a right? Anything. Come on, your rights are so under attack, describe your personal loss. Anything??? I really want to know how you have been personally affected. Come on, I am open to hear your stories.

How can I know? They're doing it in SECRET! That's the point. No justification, no probable cause, no court approval, nothing. For all I know, they've gotten all my records about everyfuckingthing I've done through my entire life. After all, I am impotent....er...important.

Why don't you ask the lawyer in the northwest US who was arrested for the Madrid bombings.

Well I would say that you are guessing, that in some way you are just "terrified" that something has happened to you, but you really don't know if something has or not. But because you heard that the government was evesdropping on calls that originated from outside the US into the US, on suspected terrorist activity that now you are worried. Hmmmmmm.....
