So, the NSA PRISM program leak is causing quite a stir, no? I'm sorta surprised at the level of pearl-clutching going on - I just assumed the the U.S. government was abusing the already generous personal liberty infringements of the Patriot Act and doing something like this.

BUT HAVE YOU SEEN THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION?!?!

OMFG, but its fugly. ( Read more... )

I love that THIS is what you're outraged about. ♥♥♥

But yeah... I mean, I'm pissed off in a tired sort of way ("Oh, they did what now? Ugh, here we go again"), but not especially surprised.

Heh. Priorities, right? I heard on the radio that sales of 1984 are up 700%, but lots of people assume its so people can have it on their bookshelves and act like they know what they are talking about when they mention Big Brother.

I think that its naive to think that the government isn't watching their own people.

But, really, there's no call for such ugly Powerpoint. None whatsoever. *unimpressed face is unimpressed*

So far, the only intelligent thing I've seen relating to PRISM and 1984 is how our current situation actually has much more resemblance to Huxley's Brave New World, because of the amount of entertainment pacification we're currently laboring under, to distract us from government shenanigans.
