(5,811 posts)everyone doesn't have the same ethical compass. That's why we have laws. Do you think people are going to stop using drugs even though it is illegal or selling drugs or killing people or abusing children or dumping shit in a river that provides drinking water for over 300,000 residents of West Virginia? The reality is we have a serious domestic terrorism problem. They are angry, armed and dangerous. The NSA hasn't had any direct impact on my life - none. In contrast, the white sheet and hood republicans have had an enormous impact. I just got health insurance, which they are still fighting tooth and nail to repeal. They don't want extend to UI benefits to people who are struggling to find work. Many are families with children. They pass PBO's infrastructure AMERICAN JOBS ACT. Instead, they are pre-occupied with vaginas and Benghazi. Adelson, a Romney backer spent 100 million dollars to try and get Romney elected. I assume some of that money went to the Benghazi operation, e.g. the incendiary movie, the "spontaneous" riots throughout the Middle East, the outing of the CIA safe house and subsequent killing of Amb Stephens and his tech team.
While I don't believe the NSA keeps me safe, I do believe it maintains the integrity of our political, social and economic system. I take responsibility for my safety. I don't hang out with political crazies, buy or use drugs or guns or contribute to America's criminal economic system.
