Reauthorizing Mass Surveillance Shouldn't Be Tied to Funding the Government

I'm curious what the `upvoteCount/commentCount` will be for this post.

I'd also be curious to see a chart where x is time and y is a score for something along the lines of "I am free to critique the US government without any form retaliation".

Since I'm being downvoted,... what I'm suggesting is that it's going in a downwards trend.

Edit: The chart is going in a downwards trend.

Yes, we understood your implication that the government is punishing critique by down voting hacker news posts. I think you got down voted because people disagree, not because they didn't understand.
