    What we don't know

    For some reason I have no doubt that every phone call, every text message, every phone call within the United States is being recorded by the government - and that the information is already being abused in all sorts of ways.

    Eventually, perhaps, evidence of the abuse will surface. I hope that the American people will actually care, and finally take action.

    But I doubt it. The last nine years have proved pretty conclusively that the majority of the American people neither understand democracy, nor deserve it.
