[governance] Have there been any statements re: PRISM from the "technical community"

[Deirdre Williams]

the civil society group.
Many (most??) of us have formally identified ourselves as "civil society".
If this means anything at all it means that we hold some values in common.
If we all push together at the same boulder - who knows? - we might even be
able to get it to the top of the hill without its rolling down and
squashing us.
Although since stone-rolling was the punishment for deceit this may not be
the best image to use in the context. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisyphus
Or perhaps like Camus we "must imagine Sisyphus happy" and keep on
struggling.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_Sisyphus
