You brought in the nonsense about what people think in the U.S. being the determinant of right and wrong. I pointed out that even assuming this very false standard, about half of them, depending on the poll, think the NSA is the bad guys. That number is bound to rise (and it has risen a great deal, of course).

However, I give up because you did post a macho graphic taking up our field of view, making fun of some child for some reason. (What does it say about a "fail" graphic when it singularly fails at being funny?) In any case, your use of it makes you a real winner of this argument. Congrats.
