Ignoring Patriot Act a mistake

Ignoring Patriot Act 'a mistake'

I cannot quote this article but if you want to read it click "Ignoring Patriot Act---" above.

When I heard about the Patriot Act I was against it because I sensed at the time that this is where it would lead. Now we are here and this information (in any one's hands) jeopardizes all our lives and livelihoods by it's very existence as well as all our children's future. If this is true of all Americans you have to know that this is true of everyone on Earth as well (who has a phone, cell phone, email acount or texts on their phone). However, whether it is the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany or even Israel that has this information or even all of them at once is open to debate.  And I think that only in the U.S. is there actually freedom to know this king of thing without disappearing suddenly from existence in most other countries of the world.

However, now it is in the news worldwide anyone who uses a phone on Earth knows everything they say is recorded somewhere and kept.
