Documents prove FBI has national eavesdropping program that tracks IMs, emails..

FBI also spies on home soil for military, documents show; Much information acquired without court order.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been routinely monitoring the e-mails, instant messages and cell phone calls of suspects across the United States -- and has done so, in many cases, without the approval of a court.

The Founding Fathers would have fallen in love with the game of Baseball...
That being said even though Gaylord Perry bent the rules of Baseball a bit they would love to have had him pitch for their Home Team...
And even if he didn't they would probably have bought a ticket to see him pitch a game.

I really don't care if the FBI is spying on possible threats to national security. Actually, I don't really care if they are spying on me.... I think they should be allowed to do what they need to protect the people of this country. However, I do disagree with any possible operation like the one in Bourne Ultimatum. I think the government should be allowed to do what's necessary to protect the country, short of physical harm. A trial should precede any of that.
The FBI people have probably already sworn themselves to secrecy concerning gov't operations. So they probably won't be telling the nation about a 14 year old couple repeatedly saying they love each other on the phone, or your grandmother's complaining about her incontinence.

I wondered about that when I saw it, Ivy.  Now, I"m no historian, though I am old enough  .  I do know that many of our founding fathers were not Christians, per se -- they were Deists -- they believed in God through the manifestations of nature and design and physical laws (not paganism).  Design presupposes a Designer.  I guessing -- I'm not sure  -- I'm guessing it wouldn't be such a big deal for them.  I'm guessing!  If they did not follow the Old Testament strictly, it may have been up to each of them to decide.
