We're all distracted, but evidently ready for new restrictions on our Constitutional rights, cheering for those restrictions in some instances.

An attack on our liberties and rights began, or escalated to new heights with the bushco/9*11/torture-spying-wiretapping-Patriot Act style bs. It seems to be continuing to this day.

We as a nation are going to have to decide how much we really value our freedom and individual liberties, and if they are still worth fighting for. Because I see a ton of efforts to restrict those freedoms, usually in the name of safety and security. And it ain't gonna stop unless we all decide we aren't going to stand for it.
