That isn't taking away anything. You can say whatever you want through the program, it's just being monitored. What's so bad about that?
It's funny because these are the same people who are the ones complaining about safety and another terrorist attack. Seriously, there aren't many people on these forums who are "important" enough that are going to be the first target a terrorist group is going to strike.
You dont seem to understand the problem. The problem is that you will not always be able to trust your government. If some day people who speak up begin to disappear, you can thank big brother for that. Always watching and all knowing, they will know your opinions, your personality, your lifestyle, and from that determine if you are a political threat. This is no reason to buy a gun, certainly not if preventative measures such as free speech are in place, because it is assumed that if people become aware of a problem, the good people will step up in order to stop the bad ones. Of course, this assumes the masses know what's best for the masses.
That's why I don't trust them in the first place. I just don't see what you could possibly be saying that is "legal" that has to absolutely be private. Never in your life will there be a time you aren't being watched. Heck, entire cities aren't safe. As I recall the CIA wanted to test the effects of LSD on entire cities by lacing the water supplies. Back in WWII I think the government sprayed an entire city in California to see how effective bio-warfare could be.

Just because the government has taken away some of our privacy doesn't mean that the government therefore has the right to introduce further limitations of privacy. In fact, I'd recommend taking away some (emphasis on "some") of the existing measures that sacrifice privacy for security.
I think they just brought this up to start more stuff about bush's policys.
It has nothing to do with politics, dude. At least not for me.
Interesting, republicans are supposed to believe in non-government control. Why are we letting terrorists take away our freedoms? First it's chat rooms next its jail without a trial.
