While all of you hysterics gnash and wail and lament what you ludicrously claim is the death of democracy just because the government has collected a giant database of information on, well, approximately everyone on the planet who uses cell phones or the Internet, you really should reflect on how well this system has worked. For example the recent pre-crime arrest of the Tsarnaev brothers. Who knows what damage they could have done had they been able to carry out their attack? Hundreds could have been killed or injured. Instead, thanks to our generous contribution of taxes and the hard work of giant global security industry corporations, these terrorists were nipped in the bud. Prism works, and having a security dossier on everybody all the time is a small price to pay to preserve our freedoms and our American way of life.
God bless you. God bless America. Long live the Stasi State 2.0.

It's just "storing" a lot of data on each of us. Because Stasi State 2.0 cares.
