Dear Bedwetters -

I don't want to hear your hysterical rantings about the invasion of your privacy by the NSA program that analyzes de-identified call history unless:

- you not only shred your monthly phone bill before you throw it away, but burn the remnants (in an environmentally friendly way, to be sure) after shredding
- you do not file income information with any governmental tax agency (granted, this will be many of you)
- you do not have a single credit card or debit card
- you do not have a grocery store loyalty card
- you do not fly on airlines
- you do not have or use a cellular phone
- you do not send or receive email

The list goes on. My point, in case the sledgehammer approach didn't work, is that this infinitessimally small scratch on your supposed privacy pales in comparison to information you give away willingly every single day simple by being a functioning member of our society, and offers orders of magnitude better return for the perceived cost. Put another way, you willingly hemmorage personal data every day for very little gain, but you're unwilling to give away very little personal data for potentially (and I recognize how small that potential is to any given individual, but humor me) great gain.

Just sayin'
