Well, I don't live in the USA. I live in England, where we pretty much made a living for a thousand years by depriving other people of freedom. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

And I just cannot understand people who demand the government not monitor them but don't actually care what the monitoring is about. All they do is protect the general public. They do not care about your browsing history, unless you've been Google'ing "how to strike terror into the infidels".

JayJay, let me put it this way. Having government monitoring is like having an extra wall between your computer and a potential threat. Removing that wall makes it that much easier for a zero-day exploit, a botnet, or just a plain black hat hacker to get in and potentially get your information.
