Everyone has an opinion, but ya know what they say about that. Most folks are interested in a yea or nea and not so much about the history of how they make up their mind. The Villages has folks from every background in life and with levels of education from a few years high school all the way to doctorate degrees. You are obviously more versed in advanced military and spy strategy than I, so please allow for that.

First of all, you (and I) are way off the subject of the NSA program and thus my response will be terse so others can stay on the subject.
I really do not understand your post at all. Am I passionate about my country...YES..I make no apologies about that.
Do I believe that people do not speak their own minds...YES. They repeat what someone tells them, and never question or do their own research. I am critical NOT OF a differing opinion...a differing opinion will drive me to research more. I AM CRITICAL when their opinion is a repeat of what they were told to believe, be it a party leader, a talking head on TV, etc.
WHY is that a big deal to me....unlike others, I think we are being destroyed by our own laziness, and dis interest in what happens in my and our country. Even our leaders pass laws without even knowing what is in them and that to me is disgraceful.
Sorry for mouthing off......I am never critical of another's opinion, but an opinion requires much more than listening to one side only
