Free Software Foundation statement on PRISM revelations

While my wife and I donate quite a bit to charities like the Heifer Project, Oxfam, and Habitat for Humanity, we give very little money to EFF, FSF, and the ACLU.

I am rethinking that. I am starting to think that a few hundred dollars a year to the EFF, FSF, and the ACLU might be a great investment.

I used to be highly communicative with my elected Congress Critters, but for the most part, I have lost faith and now believe that most politicians care much less about us than lobbying $$.

It's more likely that my life will be ruined by a drunk driver than by a terrorist.

Also, it's more likely that my life will be ruined because I ran my own email server using FSF-provided software and it broke and I lost all my mail data, or because my email server got hacked and someone spammed all my business contacts, than because I put my email in the cloud and Google sent all my emails to the NSA.
