This post is incredibly off topic....

Care to order a pizza and watch the finale of the X-Files with me?

Bruce Schneier said it best recently (seriously you should read the whole essay):
"[I]f we are observed in all matters, we are constantly under threat of correction, judgment, criticism, even plagiarism of our own uniqueness. We become children, fettered under watchful eyes, constantly fearful that -- either now or in the uncertain future -- patterns we leave behind will be brought back to implicate us, by whatever authority has now become focused upon our once-private and innocent acts. We lose our individuality, because everything we do is observable and recordable"

Shakespeare said “Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows", I don't enjoy allying myself with the ACLU, after all these are the people who champion the first amendment then urge their directors not to openly criticize them. But, I read through their petition and urge you to either sign it, or send letters of your own to your congressmen and to the FCC commissioners urging them to push back the veil on what the NSA has done.
