I assume that Echelon is paid for by tax dollars since its a government surveillance network.

In the meantime, citizens need healthcare and better education.

The money used for surveillance of innocent citizens should be used to serve the citizens, not spy on them. Its disgusting to think that people actually pay others to invade their privacy.

I hope, I hope, I hope that the citizens of the U.S. will rise up against this tyranny. I know they have it in them.
