In reply to the discussion: So, the spying on every single American by the NSA never did point the bombers out... [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)32. I buy Charmin with Aloe. I wipe with my left hand. I have NO guns and NO bullets.
In fact, I never picked a gun up in my life.
So much so, that as a kid, in an innercity summer camp, had my parents specifically write a note telling the camp that I am not allowed to use their rifle range or bow and arrows.
Parental permission was needed.
BTW, except for one two minute incident in 4th grade, I have never thrown a punch.
though I used to throw a wicked fastball, but the coach wouldn't think of having me on the team. I was never part of a clicque and alas, high school and junior high school coach's only take part of cliques. So I bowled.
And I am lefthanded.
So my penmanship is bad, because a lefty tends to smudge ink.
At least I know cursive writing.
Today they no longer teach it it seems.

So what is it for, then? What groups have been deliberately targeted and shut down?

Yes, exactly. They can listen in on every conversation, and read every email.
