Go for it. Stop whining or "we should" and do it, if you feel that strongly about it.

"Some who has nothing better to do complains about the phone company giving up records (for everyone's own good), and then everyone else jumps on the band wagon. The first prick who complained should have been punched in the mouth."Yeah, that must be it. Couldn't be that LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE don't like the idea of Uncle Sam poking around in their telephone records without a warrant or any oversight. Guess we know who's going to be welcoming the new freedom-hating overlords.

It doesn't just tell us "how much we're screwed". There is a lot of hope in that movie.
