ISPA would "waive every single privacy law ever enacted in the name of cybersecurity," Rep. Jared Polis, a Colorado Democrat and onetime Web entrepreneur, said during the debate. "Allowing the military and NSA to spy on Americans on American soil goes against every principle this country was founded on."

Our government wants absolute secrecy in its dealings and no privacy for individual citizens. This is the exact opposite of a free, just society. In a democracy, or even a republic, it is imperative that government actions are watched and judged by the public, but the actions of private citizens are not watched and judged by the government.

Every tyranny that has ever existed started by removing personal privacy and enacting government secrecy.

Private affairs should be private, and public affairs should be public.
