Eavesdropping investigation, finally

Big G has apparently authorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to review the constitutionality of his domestic spying program. My amazement at this is three-fold: that he would allow it to be investigated at all, that he would agree to it when the bulk of the hubbub has died down, and that the hubbub has died down.

Why didn't we keep our collective anger going on this one? Are people really so deluded to think this will make us safer? Or do we believe that if we don't have anything to hide, it doesn't matter?

I've got to go back to Benjamin Franklin on this one:

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Yeah! Take that, Georgie!

Here's what I propose - it's a little scary but I know you can do it! Let's all take those little balls of rage we have stored in our deepest bowels - all those nasty feeling that we suppress every time a family member asks if we need that piece of cake or the person we let into traffic doesn't wave - let's gather all those us and direct all that venom at the current administration. We'll hurt their feelings so bad, they'll all be crying in their mistresses' laps by lunch time!

Who's with me?!?
