Poll: Are there too many NSA stories on HN, or not enough?
The subject is vast. The subject is technical. The subject is on-topic.<p>Beyond all that, the subject rises to a level of fundamental <i>importance</i> to a degree few others do. Certainly more than 99% of topics that find their way to the front page of HN (feel free to quibble with that percentage).<p>I've said it before on here. I don't think the conversation on this issue has gotten loud enough, or lasted long enough, and HN is one of the few communities on the net where it is not only happening, but happening with a greater degree of insight, acumen, and creativity with regards to solutions and future actions.<p>I say carry on, upvote, comment, and ignore those unconcerned people with short attention spans.<p>Edit: And most importantly for the Americans here, call your representatives and tell them, in your own voice, exactly what you think. This has to happen at a minimum.
