The Land of The Free needs a "Freedom Act" to add some freedom?

Even if it's passed, do you think NSA will stop snooping on everyone?

If not, what's the point of enacting the legislation? Are politicians just retarded, or do they think the law serves a purpose even without an effect on what NSA is doing? Wha t might that purpose be? Could it be related to perception management?

The names of US senate bills sometimes seem straight out of 1984. Freedom Act. Patriot Act. It's amazing they can keep a straight face while saying those names.

True. But it's even more amazing how the masses just keep swallowing that shit. Of course, it's understandable too, considering people have been trained to be obedient cattle.
