    You are still an idjit, I will maintain and persevere on this point. 
Either way, we both know that the feed for this echo trickles up the chain,
just like every other digital media (except probably for his own private
facebook feed), going through NSA workers through PRISM hardware, up through
the NSA Advisor, through a proper cabinet member, and is given to him in
summarized digest form.
    Yeah, I know he can read anything, almost certainly recent versions of PGP
& GPG encrypted messages included.
    You might want to be a little more clear next time on the fact that you're
responding to the content, and not the poster.  Your opinions are noted and
logged by both myself and the NSA, of course.  You really made that sound like
you were talking to me, and I'm pretty sure you've done that before.  A little
bit of understanding of the grammatical concept of 'direct address' wouldn't
kill you.

-The opinions expressed are not necessarily an advocation of any of the
aforementioned ideologies, concepts, or actions.  We still have the freedom of
speech, for now, and I enjoy using it in a satirical or ficticious manner to
amuse myself-
