They feign outrage at not having their own room to sleep in but still do as they're told, Latin Americans included. No wonder there are so many movies about the undead--it is who we are. Life is too much work. stuntednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36646589.post-23967586920917174082013-06-30T11:23:23.522+02:002013-06-30T11:23:23.522+02:00Ten days after this article Snowden played his car...Ten days after this article Snowden played his cards right and his still at large.

Americans, in general, seem to need only to be told, repeatedly, that the USA is the bastion of freedom and justice in the world, (unique in that, to boot), and they will accept anything and feel righteous in doing so. If it emanates from here it is, ipso facto, jake. Drone assassinations must be OK because we're told they keep us safe, and now the same with government total awareness programs. The correct balance has been struck; nothing to worry about--we're a democracy--and now America's former leaders can opine about the necessity of all this secrecy in an open society to bolster the paternalistic, reassuring pat on the collective head as we're nudged toward the bedroom to let the adults get back to upholding the Constitution. USA! USA! The rest of the spied-upon world, not having the luck of being American, may not go quietly to bed.stuntednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36646589.post-46630009987278705342013-06-21T03:36:05.431+02:002013-06-21T03:36:05.431+02:00In short, the answer to your final sentence is no-...In short, the answer to your final sentence is no--unless a move is made by Washington to confiscate guns as well as collecting all electronic communications since that is seemingly the only thing capable of mobilizing a sedated public. stuntednoreply@blogger.com
