I wish that all of our governments would just be honest and admit that they are involved in massive amounts of illegal data collection, that they really love spying on their own citizens because it gives them a lot more power, and that they will never do anything to protect the people if it might mean they have to give up even a little of that power.

Any discussion about what can be done to help protect people's privacy and safety would go a lot smoother and progress faster if they'd skip all the theater and stopped pretending to take meaningful action. It's a waste of everyone's time.
