Why aren't more Americans mad at the NSA?
According to a poll, the majority of Americans are OK with the Obama
administration listening in on our phone calls. Guys approve because
they feel it increases security. And women approve of Obama's policy
because finally a man is listening to them.

I HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS NOW AND THEY ALL WANT TO HEAR WHAT I THINK!
ReplyDeleteMore Americans aren't mad for two reasons:
ReplyDelete1. It isn't real. It is like watching an episode of CSI. Out here in the real world where most of us live crimes don't get solved that way, if they get solved at all. It isn't personally touching us. It isn't causing us any pain. It isn't even getting us arrested for some of our obviously criminal behaviors. So it isn't real.
2. Anger fatigue. Our government has been acting outrageously every week for the past ten years. It is hard to get excited about ANYTHING new they might do.
