[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 977078, member: 2189"] [b]Re: Hundreds of words to avoid using online if you don't want the government spying o[/b] For one, I was very vocal against it rather than blindly accepting the excuse that this is only about terrorism and will only be used against the bad guys. It's proven that any power given to gov't they will always abuse to the ultimate harm of the very people in whom said gov't have charge.
