    Swedish government wanted a new law to for our version of NSA to be able to intercept calls.

    However, the people kind of were against it, and they couldn't pass the law (huge demontrations and stuff).

    The swedes behind the law had the same arguments as Bush, that this in no way would have anything to do with normal calls...

    I dontt hink the swedish government can handle it better than the US, so I am glad they didnt get to pass it.

    Think the US will react to this?

    Unfortunately the US government doesn't listen to its people. You can do that when 10 guys provide 99% of your funding
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I think a better system is that the state allocates funds for political parties, and that they are thereafter forbidden to use more than this amount.

    It should be about the issues, not funding, imho.
