3:39 PM yesterday give me pom commented on President Obama Says NSA Spying Is "Transparent".

I think it is a really amazing and powerful tool that we should use. In fact, we should be expanding its use beyond just fighting terror. I really don't understand this obsession with right to privacy, especially when it comes to the kind of banal data that they are collecting. It can put some dots together that would take incredible effort to accomplish through other means.

Even if it accidentally discovers unnecessary information about innocents in the pursuit of wrong-doers, who is harmed? We share way more of that personal info with Apple and Google every day and in return get an amazing services that we couldn't enjoy without the sacrifice. This kind of system could revolutionize our ability to fight some of the worst crimes imaginable.

That said, obviously we should have strong checks and balances, and the system has no need to exist in secret. Just by its existence it forces so-called evil doers to be unable to use technologies which we are practically dependent on to work efficiently.

Although, come to think of it, if they applied it to the drug war, we'd all be screwed....

I think a little bush should have been peeking out the top, or a little scrote pinched between the thigh and hammock.

This, Dan, is why I love you.

Yeah, I disagree. It should not be a big deal. It has an unfortunate history. But lets get over ourselves.

Every time somebody bitches about MacFarlane, I remember his performance a little bit more fondly.

Why did you post this? I have now added a view to that stupid video, and it was not even terrible enough to entertain me.

The sweet irony of having SNU advertising it's MBA healthcare program at the top of this page (mobile app). "100% online or on campus"

(4 Semesters) Total Program Cost

What is experimental sex and where can I get me some?

Aug 27, 2012 give me pom commented on Chris Matthews Rips Reince Priebus on Race Cards, Dog Whistles, Birth Certificates.

This is great. While I normally despise Chris Matthews, he did well on this day. It is strange how passionate debate was greeted with extreme awkwardness by all the other journalists and guests on that show.

The right remembers very fondly their William Buckley who debated with similar passion - I recall seeing him tell somebody to shut up before he punches the guy in the face. Now we're all ninnies who can't take an impassioned argument.

Aug 25, 2012 give me pom commented on Romney Is Creepily Obtaining Large Amounts of Your Data.

Just because an article happens to include the words "Bain Capital" does not require it to be ominously bold-typed. I cannot fathom how a mutual business marketing relationship has anything to do with this article (that goes for the author of the quote as well.)

But Constant, you just hammer home your partisan hackiness with this. You waste your talent.
