You know, when I hear the crap the NSA pulls on us collecting data...I can't help but think they just might know something the general public doesn't, which is what they do best to begin with lol. It's hard to know who is blowing smoke up my rear these days. Don't get me wrong I LOVE my country 100%! Damn it if there isn't things that make me go hmmm who do we support though?!?

I'm against it in principle. The whole "I'm not doing anything wrong" argument is a slippery slope from a constitutional perspective.

It's not like any of us thought they weren't listening to our calls and reading our emails for years now.

yeah, thats true...

Honestly, my first reaction to the news about the NSA was to be shocked that there were people who had thought it wasn't happening.

I think its got more to do with the idea of "perpetual warfare". When 1 crisis ends, another is begun or created, whether its an actual war or a proxy war (which IMO is what the Syria conflict has become). Not to get anywhere near the conspiracy theory stuff, but the military industrial complex does have a major contributing factor to our economic status.

We don't need to be involved, but the Gov will make us feel like we should be. Or at least they will try.

It's not even a conspiracy. Conspiracy implies that it's covert. It's pretty damn clear that the companies who profit from wars are donating generously to reelection campaigns.

99% of our problems as a country could be solved with draconian campaign finance reform. Stop the money, stop the self serving career politicians on the take. Goddamn Citizens United ruling.

As an aside, I really think this forum should have a place for political discussion provided we kept everything civil. It's always an interesting discussion.
