Hey…NSA! It’s Me…Joelie

I thought, that if it ever became official that the government was spying on everything I did and said, that I would be paranoid, at the very least, and outraged, of the anarchic-retaliatory variety.  Fundamentally, it is pretty creepy.  The “machine”, (used primarily for good on Person of Interest), is…

Note to Senate
