(5,763 posts)only evidence that I (or anyone) personally being spied on is proof of this surveillance program. That is simple fallacious. Even if they are spying on me personally, it's not evidence of the program on the scale of PRISM. Therefore, what you're demanding for evidence is, in fact, irrelevant. The program being talked about here is a somewhat larger. In fact, I think your standard of evidence is like telling me to find a snowflake of a specific shape to prove to you there's an avalanche.
The government has admitted what they've been doing. Our Patriot Act, the NDAA and other laws tell us specifically what they can do, and it's consistent with what Snowden has said. There have been other stories written about this in previous years that did not make this kind splash, and they said the same thing that has been disclosed now, without the word PRISM.
Now that I've cited all this, I don't care if you think Snowden is credible or not, because I think you're cracked. Yes, I think you're criticism is so poor and uninformed, it doesn't even merit an answer, and I can't muster the respect necessary to take you seriously. So goodbye.
