I have surrendered to the fact that an abundance of Americans just do not really care what is going on in their own country. I can see mostly because they have no idea what is going on out the front doors of their houses. All of this spying on the American people came out less than a week ago and we have already become complacent to the excuse of National Security. That's why they are collecting all your personal data. I have also noticed at first the media was outrage but now they also have become complacent with the Obama administration's point of National Security. I watched with baited breath this morning when every news outlet just hammered away at the leaker but not the captured data from our government. It just goes to show you that you can condition a people to fall for just about anything. If you repeat it enough and us terms like 911 and national security, and don't forget Terrorist. These are all trigger words to scare the hell out of you and Obama and his administration knows it and he uses it for everything it is worth. I recall a discussion with someone the other day about this very topic. At first I used the word Stupid to describe Obama, and this person said to me that was the flaw in my argument. And he was right I had to step back and ask myself if I was seeing this from a personal view or a if I have misjudged my comment. After thinking about it he was right I did look at this the wrong way. Obama is not stupid, in fact he is very talented at turning the discussion his way. So I looked at this from a Physics point of view. Use an equation and add all the variables and see what the out come would be. As I did this I found I had been looking at this the wrong way, in fact when I got done with this equation I realized he knows exactly what he is doing. He is using human emotions and and fear to get his point across. That one emotion that has all of us with chains wrapped around our necks FEAR. Scare the hell out of the populous and you get what you want. Like a larger defense budget, "The money used for spying" bailing out of banks, "at taxpayers expense. Saying if we do not do the things we will all suffer. Kind of make's him father like does it not. The President taking care and protecting his people (that's his job) while shaping the society the way HE wants it (this one is not). (Shaping is done by the People.) But in using fear and intimidation is common among narcissistic people, who have everything to gain and nothing to lose. The quotes below pretty much cover it.
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.
God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say: This is my country.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither safety nor liberty.
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.
