"irony n. 1. the expression of one's meaning by language of the opposite or
a different tendency, e.g., adoption of a laudatory tone for the purpose of
ridicule."

--Oxford

I was actually being facetious (one of the several sub-classes of irony)
when I asked if you were being ironic, to make a point.

On your other points, we mostly agree.

I was just emphasizing the Senator Patrick Leahy pushed the bill that make
the Surveillance State a reality. This should _never_ be forgotten.
