  • it's a real concern to me that our freedoms and civil liberties are being slowly chipped away at. and to legislate away my right to legal reddress is pretty damn troubling, too. we're heading for a police state.

  • what a bunch of horseshit. So, let me get this straight -- according to this clown, open government might hurt corporations so therefore we should make everything secret.

    brilliant. bloody brilliant.

  • That pledge is almost too honest! :-(

  • I love democracy, cuz my neighbors buy this junk and allow my rights to be taken away.

  • I pledge allegiance

    to the corporation

    of the united states of america, inc.

    And to the profits

    for which its stands

    one CEO,

    not liable,

    un-prosecutable,

    with bonuses and handouts to some

  • Thank you Verizon for giving the government all my information. I feel safer that you are monitoring a guy transmitting information from a cave in Afhganistan. What a bunch of crap!!!

  • Wainstein....speaking on behalf of the Isreali communication companies that spy on USA telephone lines.

  • General Fairness? Is Ken

    Wainstein trying to run for VP?

  • Turn it around and put a company in the place of the individual.

    The telecom company (in this scenario) has the right to the information, and a bunch of individuals don't want to give that information out.

    Somehow i doubt that the government would stand up for these people like they do for these companies, don't you?

  • How is that working out for you guys?

    More people died in a war to stop terrorism than by the actual attack, everyone is still scared shitless 6years later and you have a prison for torturing people that may or may not be terrorists, so your ideals, justice and freedom for all stuff is down the drain as well.

    Keep up the good work.

  • I am from Europe, so different culture, ideas etc.

    But it freaks me out that many Americans believe that you can fight terrorism by being scared of your own shadow and giving all your info to the government.

  • So now our laws only apply to people who aren't working for the government.
