If it wasnt true,this cartoon would be funny!

 

:rofl:it is funny!its hilarious :rofl:

 

Not really!!!!

Americans are spied on MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE!!!! (1/2 of them are aware of this and dont care -- THAT IS QUITE DISTURBING!!)

 

I find it hard to believe they have time and resources to track 314 million people.

 

If there weren't so many Timothy McVeigh's in this country, there wouldn't be a need. No worries, if you're not planning something. And yet there are quite a few on this forum that don't think about their posts. It's also why they have cameras on the streets, like in Boston. Just too many dick wads these days.

 

Yep just another way people are willingly giving up any freedom they have for a (false sense of) security. It'll be regretted but it'll be too late.

 

There's certainly a problem of domestic terrorism, and surveillance might to some degree help to prevent it.

...cause the government is only going to do what is in our interests?

I'd have a little more trust in government if special interest groups didn't have a strangle hold on it. Seems to me that the agendas of special interest groups are trumping civil liberties and the interests of the people
