In the case of violating the gag provisions of an NSL, that's a 'Fast Track' to an 8x10 cell in an institution not necessarily of your choosing.

Do feel free to write your representatives and complain, but don't try and sweep this all away under "right to freedom of speech and expression". National security is far more nuanced.

Great. Freedom of speech in fucking quotes. National security is nuanced. You've got to be kidding me. America has disappointed me.

So do something about it. You can't complain in the preposterous way that you're complaining and not actively do something about it. And I'm not talking about voting, it's decades too late for that, and you'd never get the rest of the country to agree with your views.

Do something. You're sitting here bitching us out for how the US government works like it's our fault and we should have done something different. Well what are you doing? Because if the answer is "nothing", then maybe you should sit down and reevaluate your tone.

That's a bullshit response. You can't disagree with policy or people's attitudes unless you're "doing something about it"?

[freehunter]

If you disagree that strongly with his attitude but aren't doing anything different than he is, you're a hypocrite. What makes you better than him? What puts you in a position to judge him?

[Domenic_S]

That is not how hypocrisy works.
