“Sure, NSA’s looking at everything, but I’m not a terrorist, so I’ve got nothing to worry about, right?“
Maybe Obama won’t do it. Maybe the next guy won’t, or the one after him. Maybe this story isn’t about you. Maybe it happens 10 or 20 years from now, when a big war is happening, or after another big attack. Maybe it’s about your daughter or your son. We just don’t know yet. But what we do know is that right now, in this moment we have a choice. Are we okay with this, or not? Do we want this power to exist, or not?
I have having great fun listening to the most vocal elements of the left and right say the same thing about this issue as they pretend not to notice the awkward echo coming from the other corner of the room.
It must be that the other guy is saying the right thing for the wrong reason!
