.. whatever, I hope you've got my point.
I've got your point. Let me summarize it:
- everybody can have secrets and that is OK
- NSA have secrets and taxpayers are not allowed to know them because taxpayers will not be safe if they know them.
- If taxpayers have secrets NSA have the right to know them because taxpayers will be safe if NSA know their secrets
However silly it sounds, yes, this is the big picture.
The other alternative would be the Eden: no secrets at all, we all go naked, nothing wrong will happen.
I guess that this is what you'd like.
Oh well, the sad truth is that some say that there was a snake in Eden and then everything was ruined.
