1. It's not the listening that matters.
It's what you do with what you overhear.

4. Accept the technology. Do you suppose that once having the capability a government is ever going to

What you have actual control over is your willingness to accept what is overheard as guilt requiring punishment.

Cheney Bush would be making the case to put all of us in the slammer. Obama, on the other hand, is listening solely for best messaging and agreement under the social compact.

10. Fuck the Constitution, right?
It is all about the person in leadership, not the rule of law. Servile and cowardly.
