Thank goodness the NSA clarified that peaceful protesting is A-OK with them. Since they have no respect for the 4th amendment it is heartening that they at least retain some respect for the 1st. Of course, the cynic in me realizes that an organization that shreds the 4th would really, really love the 1st, and indeed encourage people to communicate electronically AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
Without the first amendment how else would yesterday's banal conversations exist to implicate you in next decades' fortieth deadliest planned and thwarted attack?
