#249090 — NSA Ends Phone Data Collection Program

The federal government’s collection of bulk data from the 
telephone calls of virtually every American will stop at 
midnight Saturday, ending a raging controversy that began with 
disclosures about the secret program by Edward Snowden.

Beginning Sunday, if the government wants to check on a specific 
phone number in a potential terrorism case, a request must be 
made to the relevant telephone company for a check of its own 
data. The government will no longer retain the information.

	Say that to all the big war contractors, and they'll probably
have you killed. Or are you referring to the little people that get
free milk ? No worries there, you can always spit on them...

it's more like the age-old argument of "the needy" vs "the moochers and
the looters".  Unfortunately, MOST of the "help" [aka 'free government
cheese'] goes to the MOOCHERS AND THE LOOTERS, or else the needy BECOME
the moochers and looters, after years of NOT getting off their asses and
earning their OWN cheese.  They lose the will to work.

In other words: no, you have no evidence but you have a feeling. OK.

Your emotional reaction is not in any way surprising. But still comes down
to your claim is baseless. You are fine with that and so am I.

I *have* talked to conservatives who can do better than that... but
unfortunately they are rare. American conservatives is based very much on
emotion, mostly fear. There are studies showing that conservatives are more
focused on fear, and studies showing that Fox is the most trusted source,
that Fox viewers tend to use fewer sources of news, and that Fox is the
least reliable source.

One might be able to be conservative and logical, but it to do so one would
have to use actual reasoning to get to those conclusions and not the emotion
and misinformation generally used.
