Liberty? In your dreams

What is this land of the free business, anyhow? It’s not in the charter of the master snoops of the NSA who aren’t just collecting terrorist stuff but….

“They tell stories of love and heartbreak, illicit sexual liaisons, mental-health crises, political and religious conversions, financial anxieties and disappointed hopes. The daily lives of more than 10,000 account holders who were not targeted are catalogued and recorded nevertheless.”

Be careful what you write in email, bud, especially if you ever plan to run for public office as anything but a Democrat. Orwell was just a few years early.

UPDATE: Presidentialism: There’s a good reason we’re increasingly unfree and, perhaps surprisingly, it’s due to the Constitution which created an “elective monarchy.”
