> Also allowing people to get so much power make it almost impossible to later revoke that power when they switch their goals or abuse it. Who can guarant you that nobody uses PRISM for personal benefit? Like people betting on stock exchange because they read that some company is going to default in private emails, and all other people on stock lose their money to these assholes? That's just the first example that came to my mind. Do you trust every person in NSA that they won't do such stuff? Or are you OK with it?

I agree with this statement,

I would like to add: That this nation was built on a very powerful constitution. What makes America different than most nations is that the Constitution amendments are like Axioms. Unlike many places these rules cannot be changed, shifted or broken. Yes I am saying that the US constitution is stronger than any other constitution out there today.

The forefathers lived in a very different age but were bright people. Technology changes, times change but human nature and instinct does not. If we do not stand for the constitution and what it means you will be accepting a different reality and a different America. We will die time will continue but to ensure that America is what it was intended to be we must show our presence today and protect the basic civil rights of Americans.

>Their goal is protect the US. Do you think there are no threats within our borders? Seriously Americans, what's wrong with you?

There were always threats within our borders. Thats why we have the DEA, FBI, ATF, Homeland Sec., etc.

Billions of dollars of data and wire tapping is not going to protect you. A person with will an intent to do evil will and can do it no matter what.

However, if the solution is to give up our civil liberties which makes this country the best place on earth in panic, distrust and spying on our own people; then we have already lost and they (evil) have won.
