Now, there are few things to note about everything that I’m going to say here. This protection only goes as far as you do, if you leave something open, well…good luck to you then. It’s like what Thomas Edison said, “I found 2000 ways not to make a light bulb”, he only needed one. All security is about the weakest link, right? So long as I can find one way in, I’m in.

On issues with this much importance we can either have a president that is standing behind the "more protection" front or we can have someone whose naptime is far more critical. :) @Dan - Thanks for the link and insight at your blog. I'm hoping there is more to it than just "big brother is watching you", but I can't help but feel as though I got the wind knocked out of me on this one. Guess we just need to keep watching the action on it. @Jeremy – Yea i did see that McCain didn’t show…thats good.

He made a fumble but it wasn't totally crap. Actually reading it further, this is more nuanced. He made a fumble but it wasn’t totally crap.

Its basically "big brother just wants to protect you" bullshit, and it makes me incredibly angry he's even making that argument. Its not just that its blindly pandering, it opens up the debate even further down the authoritarian line. Its pretty wild this thing got passed isn’t it? TPM has Obama’s rationale.

It's also interesting to note that even though Obama is getting a lot of flack for voting for it, John McCain didn't even show up to vote. I don't agree with his vote, but I still have more faith in him than McCain. This is a great post, thanks for sharing it!
