Deep Yawn

What is it with me and inconsistent posts? Completely forgot that I even had a blog at all until I happened to comment on some dude's report of an eBay SQL injection vulnerability. It's gotta be more than 30 times I've started a journal-type project, and completely forgotten about it. Hopefully this time will start rolling into a consistent blog.
Anyway... I've lately been in a skeptical mindset, constantly overthinking everything that pops into mind. It feels like it started right at the breaking hype of NSA's constitutionally questionable actions coming to public knowledge. Of course (trying not to sound haughtily prophetic), I always knew about PRISM, TURBINE, the PATRIOT act, XKeyscore, and all the other invasive surveillance systems for years. The interception of commercial and consumer hardware for tampering during shipment I figured was common knowledge. (It's always why I open my routers/modems to check the components against whitepaper schematics.) But what really rustled my jimmies was that the RSA had knowingly allowed the NSA to intentionally implement a flaw in its ECC mechanisms.
I should make one thing clear at this point. I have absolutely no problem with the NSA trying to crack existing security methods. That's cool stuff; it's human ingenuity at its finest. We learn that way, and improve on our mistakes and innovations through that kind of thinking. It's how we progress as a species. What I absolutely refuse to accept is the intentional hindrance of the progress of computer science in order to exploit systems. This is how advancement in technology is halted by petty human avarice. If they want access to my systems, fine. But they have to work for it. Invent new cryptographic circumvention mechanisms and use them. But don't, for f**k's sake, weaken the entire friggin' country's infrastructure just to make more money in the "war on drugs." (Heavy on the quotation marks.)
Here's something to chew on; really think on this, don't just pass it up. If China's notorious reputation for cyber-warfare is such a threat, why is the general public not more well-informed on methods of information security? The Tor framework was lambasted as a sanctuary for illegal drug transactions, questionable content such as child pornography, and secret terrorist communications. Because of this, anonymity of the citizenry as a whole has suffered from fear that use of the same framework for benign purposes would attract undue suspicion from local fusion centers and DEA crackdowns. TrueCrypt has been all but neglected by the majority of technology news blogs (with the exception of you few, wonderful nerd communities; you know who you are) and had to be audited for intentional vulnerabilities in its programming (widely due to speculation of government involvement in all closed-source security software). Only until recently has the legitimacy of the NSA's authority been called into question during the issuance of national security letters, gag orders, or other dubious methods of enforcing its stranglehold on the open internet. (When I say "open," I refer to freedom of technology, not privacy. Duh.)
*Exasperated sigh...*
Anywho, I've been constantly bedraggled by a nonstop barrage of litigious stupidity and dunderheaded bigotry. Digging too deep into controversy really stresses your mindset, not to mention your very identity, as you repeatedly question how disconnected some people (or parties) are from sensible, objective discussions. It's unbelievably frustrating watching someone just steep themselves in their ignominious blathering, and having to just shake my head as everyone else just nods in plebeian acceptance simply due to identical political, religious, or economic alignment with their own stance.
TL;DR: Want moar solid logos; too much ethos, pathos, rhetoric, and flat-out fallacious misdirection.
