Living in freedom means having to accept that there is some inherit danger in not monitoring everyone 24/7. A crazy is a crazy and will always be a crazy.... and on a side note never stick your......... lol nevermind.
I don't have a damn ****ting thing to hide from anyone... seriously, you would be hard pressed to find even a damn mouse's skeleton hiding in my closet. But i sure as **** don't want my mice saying hi to someone at NSA!
in my opinion we have flourished as a country for over 200 years with multiple global wars in which we have been triumphant. Why all of sudden do we need it now because a few crazy's decided to be crazy?

My first reaction when I heard about this was not very positive towards our government as most of my reactions are towards them have been
We haven't really won a war since 1945 because the enemies we are fighting are finding new ways to attack us. IF this surveillance was only for GOOD reasons such as monitoring for terrorism and could be used to prevent another 9/11 than maybe MAYBE its alright, but thats where the fine line is, you are still invading privacy of millions of innocent peoples' conversations before you get to the 'bad guys'
I don't know, interested to see what others think. I for one do not trust our gov't 100% though
