Dear clueless author,
how do you know if the government is working in your interest, if nearly everything it does is secret?
Do you know how much it takes for the government to access your personal email address?
Do you think that the government is always right? Do you think that the people there don't have personal interests?
As time passes the government demands to know more and more about you and let's you know less about it, don't you think at some point this becomes a problem?
