An international group of 500 writers is petitioning the United Nations to enact a sanction against government spying on citizens, saying that such spying takes away the freedom of citizens. This news comes as it is revealed in the U.S. that the N.S.A. is now able to determine who you associate with by determining your position using GPS pings from your smartphone and gathering information from other pings in your immediate vicinity. That was topped off by yesterday's revelation that the N.S.A. is using cookies to infiltrate our computers and determine what websites you are visiting, who you are emailing and what your keystrokes are.
This spying business has got to be brought to a screeching halt. It is oppressive. They're recruiting 15-year-old kids to spy for them. N.S.A. employees are disgruntled that we Americans are finding out about their nefarious activities. Obama insists nothing is wrong, but out of the other side of his mouth he says he's going to rein N.S.A. in. I'm afraid to take my tablet to the bathroom and read the news because I don't know if Pelosi is watching me.
I would not, however, join the group of writers who are petitioning the U.N. because I do not believe we Americans need to be subservient to such a rogue collection of international thugs. Besides, I wasn't asked.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
