your tax dollars at work…

i was telling
aunt bea
how upset
i was
with the nsa’s tactics
and
the subsequent
justifications provided
by other agencies
you know
the usual examples
of
how this has
saved
lives
and
all of democracy
kind of a
postmortem
on abuse of power
but
aunt bea
said
what upsets
me more
is the inexcusable
waste
of tax payer dollars
if the nsa
wanted
to know
anything
about us
all they had
to do
was connect to
google
or
facebook
and
they could’ve seen
every association
we have had
and
probably
what
we had
for breakfast
and dinner
