They probably just don't know if people enjoy privacy or if they'd like to know why government does what it does. A few thousand signatures should clear up the confusion.

They turned the US into a police state leading their citizen to some sort of home imprisonment and to near bankruptcy due to the moronic expenditures with a failed war on terrorism (which includes two failed physical wars). This is just another blow in the agonizing US Constitution. The Founding Fathers would be ashamed. Well, in a sense the terrorism won with the 9/11 thing.

So double standards must be twice as good, right? Or what I really mean is, screw you US Gov't. Standards are great (because there are so many to choose from).
