[Satan]

I have contracted for the NSA, so take this with a grain of salt.

The NSA doesn't pay their regular employees that well. They're on a federal pay schedule. The kickass part is the benefits.

The NSA does do good things. They prevent attacks on US interests across the globe, by monitoring signals intelligence. You might not like the privacy breaches, but I view this as a necessary evil.

Yes, some of the things they do are morally questionable. Most do not shatter any morals, merely bend them, and it provides a greater good.

I don't quite get the whole mentality of "necessary evil". Or voting for the least evil candidate.

If someone believes something evil is needed, they haven't looked hard enough. May be the easiest, but it doesn't make it right. Same with voting for the lesser of two evils, you're still voting for evil. Bending morals is morally questionable. Morals are what you follow and what guides you. If you're bending them, they're not really morals.

Just my thoughts, not trying to start a huge fight about it.
