    like the right to unreasonable search & seizure without a warrant AND probable cause?

    If you're an American you still have those rights.

    You're fucking delusional.

    The cost of the fight against al Qaida is a relatively small percentage of the federal budget.

    Unless you add in all the military resources brought to bear worldwide on finding tigers.

    Still have free speech? Yes

    Freely monitored speech. That isn't actually free.

    There are plenty more

    like the right to unreasonable search & seizure without a warrant AND probable cause?

    If they take one, how hard is it to take others?

    Those numbers are like 10% of worldwide car accident deaths.

    Google does it for monetary reasons.

    The government does it for control reasons.

    That's not just a difference of the level of acceptability.

    Exactly this.

    Snowden wasn't the first one to say those things. And he won't be the last.

    While waiting that indeterminate time until iron is more expensive, most of Guinea starves to death.

    So there's fewer workers in this future. And they'll earn even higher wages because they'll be in demand.

    More money for Dodgy Mining Co.

    Yay! Or something.
