Big Brother is here

The feds have been collecting all kinds of phone records in their fight against terrorism, and now the country is once again all atwitter about the newest revelations that the NSA has our phone records. (Listen up, South Florida. Most of us use BellSouth as our land line service.) Some say that whatever it takes to fight the bad guys is fine by them. Others lament the not-so-slow erosion of civil liberties in the name of a war that has been, at best, sloppily handled.
Every week we find some new detail about Big Brother's continuing incursion into our lives -- all without oversight What's next? Webcams around the house? Recorders in our car?

It seems to me that if Uncle Sam is spying on ME -- he is going to get very bored very quickly.

There is a price for surveillance - we have to accept the risk or accept the consequences. To the terrorists, we must look like sissy babies crying about "I don't want them to know who I called!!!"

In the meantime, they plot away.
