"German language magazine 'Bild am Sonntag' reports that, in response to Obama's recent order to stop spying on Angela Merkel and other heads of 'friendly' states, the NSA has instead ramped up spying on everybody Merkel communicates with. Cory Doctorow points out that this action demonstrates that the NSA is out of control and deliberately disobeying a presidential order with a level of duplicity worthy of a four year-old."

    Confusion might also stem from the mistaken idea that all of the founders were in unanimous agreement about everything. Sometimes real change takes small steps in series rather than one giant leap. For example, I've heard that the original draft of the US Constitution abolished slavery, but couldn't get enough signatories in that form, so they changed it. Don't forget, especially if you're from the US, that preserving the status quo is not why the US Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and Bill of Rights were written.
