Isn't the NSA "a government based organisation?" Surely
guilt-by-association renders every government based organisation just
as nefarious as the NSA.
This is why grown-ups don't believe in guilt by association.
To take an example: the graduate students at the University of Iowa
who teach undergraduate courses on classical French literature are
University employees. (Unionized ones at that: United
Electicalworkers/Committee to Organize Graduate Students, *represent*!
[1]) As University employees, they are officially also government
employees, since the University is funded by the State.
Do you really think a bunch of graduate students obsessing over _La
Chanson du Roland_ are "just as nefarious as the NSA"?
If you do, then I think your paranoia is so out of hand you really
ought consider seeking professional help. And no, I'm not kidding.
If you don't, then let's dial back the rhetoric. Governments are
*big* *big* things with lots of employees, and they deserve better
treatment than this.
[1] Yes, I was a card-carrying union man and served as a union
officer. Try not to keel over from the shock. ;)
