Common sense

So if monitoring of our phone calls is simply business as usual, no story here, then why was there the need of a court order dated April 25, 2013, and ending July 19, 2013. It doesn't seem that it has been a common practice.

If you listen to the President, in the most convincing of tones and the sincerest of expressions, he will tell you that all of this is for your own good. In order to protect you from the bad guys, we need all the information we can glean about you. Huh? We need to engage some common sense. Information about 99% of us will do nothing at all to identify the bad guys. Because we aren't doing anything wrong. So that line of reasoning doesn't pass the smell test. In fact the whole story stinks to high heaven. Merideth White
