    They WOULD because if you change some letters in Roswell and add one, you get Scroogle! Isn't it obvious???! It should be to the aliens who run Google. Clearly the government has you in their clutches - only an upgrade to TinFoilHat 2.3 will save you.

    WTF you call sauerkraut and sausages excellent food?? thanks but NO THANKS.

    I have lived in Germany for almost 2 years and I would say that German food is definitely NOT an "advantage".

    Beer I agree, the best shit I have tried! Of course, the food is better than the UK but... I will change any time a brötwurst for a good portion of Smoked BBQ Ribs! (Real American!)
    p.s. I am not American, I am a Mexican :)

    Yes exactly. It's the one where the Supreme Court rules that violations of any amendment are okay as long as they're really, really important. That, again, is called reality. Here in reality, we know that sometimes rules need to be broken.

    In the case you cite, though, I don't like the way that rule is broken. I wish it were different, here in reality. There are lots of things I wish were different, here in reality, but I don't pretend that limited exceptions to constitutional provisions amount to (quoting you) "unfettered access to communications". In this case, the operative word is "unfettered". Here in reality, the government has *fettered* access to communications, although sometimes I wish they were slightly more fettered.

    I'm glad that Eurasia has certified that we are safe from the prying eyes of Oceania.
