This is starting to get really bad. Why aren't there demonstrations in the streets? I tried to sound out my relatives over the holidays to see what they think about Snowden/NSA and nobody seems to care.


Because the average person is short sited. They don't do anything (or don't realize how terrible it is) until it directly affects them.


I actually had coworkers saying they didn't care and that it's necessary to keep terrorists away....

I realized how Hitler was able to rise to power so quickly, people just accept complete trust in authority, the all loving, the all caring and nurturing.

Just like herding cows telling each other everything's alright, we are still comfortable, enough grass to keep us going, owners seem nice. Refusing to believe they will all be slaughtered one day.
