You must read, you must persevere, you must sit up nights, you must inquire, and exert the utmost power of your mind.

The fact that other countries spy on their own people or spy on each other does not address the fact that the US is engaged in massive, bulk collection to the tune of 70. 3 million telecommunications a month in France of perfectly innocent people. That has nothing to do with protecting the United States, and has nothing to do with really gathering any kind of meaningful intelligence on France. It is an overreach. . . and I think the other countries are justifiably outraged. . . . As one of our founders said: Those who choose between liberty and security deserve neither.
